Chelsea's injury crisis has deepened with the news that Raheem Sterling suffered a pulled hamstring against Manchester City.
Sterling had a scan yesterday after he was forced off in the opening minutes against his former club and joined Chelsea’s list of injured stars.
The total stood at 10 by the end against City with Christian Pulisic also coming off with a knee injury following a crunching challenge by John Stones, while Mason Mount missed the defeat after picking up an injury in training.
The loss made it one Premier League win in eight for Chelsea, who sit 10th and trail fourth-placed Manchester United by 10 points.
Despite Chelsea’s miserable form, manager Graham Potter retains the backing of the club’s owners, who view him as a long-term appointment and accept that the injury problems have hindered his plans for the team since taking charge.
N’Golo Kante, 31, has been one of the big misses — out since August with a hamstring injury — but Chelsea are optimistic he will end doubts about his future by signing a new contract.
Kante’s deal expires this summer and, during his reign, former manager Thomas Tuchel admitted the Frenchman’s injury problems would have to be a factor.
But talks have continued and are progressing towards Kante signing an extension.

WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING AT CHELSEA ABT INJURY CRISIS? IS IT A QUESTION OF THE MEDICS AT D CLUB NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO TREAT INJURY UPON INJURY BEING SUSTAINED BY OUR PLAYERS AT ANY MATCH. WE ARE HALF WAY D LEAGUE, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE KNOCKOUT ABT TO COMMENCE AND FA ONGOING. AS WE SPEAK THREE FIRST TEAM DEFENDERS, TWO MIDFIELDERS, PULISIC AND STERLING NOW JOINING THOSE ON INJURY LIST. TELL ME WHICH COACH ON EARTH CAN MAKE A HEADWAY WITH THIS PROPLEMS. THE EARLIER THE MGT OF THE CLUB LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUE BY SEARCHING FOR GOOD MEDICAL PERSONNEL THE BETTER.

Sterling could’ve played a little longer out of respect. Stones didn’t foul him. His attitude is pathetic and that’s why he’s not at City. He’s deadweight. Don’t fool yourselves Chelsea, he sux! A Man City legend finished a game with a broken neck, js. Sterling could’ve went up to 10 mins. He couldn’t stand the heat.
just shut up if u know nothing about football

Every season Chelsea depends on Arsenal to identify targets for them. They have poor football directors and dull scouts so they try to make use of the excellent department in those areas Arsenal have. Because of them we will start hiding our work going forward. Copy copy spying club.....
What color is your champions league Chelsea can’t ever copy arsenal 😂 how would we copy a club that has no champions league despite they players they’ve had in recent years 😂
