Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah issues personal injury update
Chalobah off injured
Despite being top of the Premier League, Chelsea struggled to show their title credentials in a scrappy 2-1 win against Watford heavily delayed by an incident in the stands.
Eventually, goals from Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech proved decisive, but it was a game that Tuchel said Chelsea “stole” three points from.
Too many awful performances we can’t sub them all unfortunately. Worst 45 under Tuchel.

And there was a more lasting blow to the side too.
Just over ten minutes into the second half, Chelsea’s poor luck on the injury front continued to rear its ugly head.
Running back towards his own goal, Chalobah pulled up with what looked to be a hamstring strain, and which subsequently forced him out of action.

To demonstrate just how weak Chelsea are in midfield at present, it was Hakim Ziyech, not another central option, that replaced the youngster.
Chalobah joins N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Jorginho on the sidelines, while Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner are working their way back to full fitness ahead of a hectic Christmas schedule that sees the Blues play 9 games in December.
Chalobah issues personal update
Now, Chalobah has issues his own injury update after being forced off.
Immediately after being substituted, Chalobah tweeted just a downcast emoji.

Then, on Thursday morning, he issued another update.
Again taking to his twitter account, Chalobah said;
“Jehovah is in control,back soon”

This suggests that the injury may be more serious than a simple knock, and could leave Chelsea looking light heading into the rest of the month should he be out for too long. All Blues fans will be hoping that he makes a speedy recovery.
