Enzo Maresca will have been sitting nervously over the last week or so to see if his Chelsea players were going to survive the international break unscathed.
Injuries have thankfully not played too much of a factor on the Blues this season, although one big player is still yet to make his first appearance.
Club captain Reece James has not been seen all season, although returned to training at the start of this week as he closes in on his return.
Last night saw the last set of international fixtures where Chelsea players would be involved, and unfortunately it looks as if one of their summer signings has picked up an issue.
Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is still waiting patiently for his first Premier League start since his £20m move to Stamford Bridge, and was off representing the Denmark U21 side over the last week.
Filip Jorgensen forced off injured for Denmark U21s
He was forced off injured last night, with Kieran Gill claiming he had been involved in a collision that will now be assessed back at Chelsea.
He said: “Filip Jorgensen was forced off injured tonight for Denmark’s U21s after a collision. Friend who works for a Danish publication spoke with manager afterwards and was told he substituted Chelsea’s goalkeeper as a precaution.
“Will be assessed once back in London but hopefully fine.”
Robert Sanchez Chelsea’s number one right now
It is likely that Robert Sanchez was set to remain in the starting side for the upcoming Premier League game against Liverpool, with his performances mostly being far more impressive this season.
He very much saved Chelsea a point against Nottingham Forest in the final game before the break, which kept the Blues in the top four of the table.
Jorgensen’s appearances have so far been restricted to the cup competitions, and he will be hoping that he will be fit enough to take part again when they are back in action in the Conference League on Thursday.
