Chelsea Injury News And Return Dates: Updates On Jordan Henderson, Emi Martinez & 5 Others
Chelsea midfielder Jordan Henderson missed the 2-0 win over Manchester United at the weekend due to illness.
Manager Xabi Alonso says that the 36-year-old was suffering from a fever on the morning of the game, so there was no chance of him featuring. Henderson is, though, expected to be in contention for the Blues’ last game before the international break this weekend.
Expected Return Date – Sunday 8th November vs Sunderland (a)

Alonso has expressed some optimism that the Argentinian international will make his comeback from a broken jaw sooner than expected:
“Yes, there is a chance [he could play before the international break]. We need to still wait for the next week, but let’s see how things go. But there is a chance.”
