Reports have claimed that those at Chelsea believe they know why they are struggling in front of goal right now.

According to The Times, some at the club believe that the injury problems they have suffered up to now are to blame for their inability to find the net.

It is fair to say that looking past the terrible results on the pitch so far, things have not been helped with the plethora of injuries that have hit the first team.

Wesley Fofana and Christopher Nkunku both fell to issues during pre-season that were going to keep them out for some time.

It is unknown right now whether the former will actually be present this season, while the latter may have to wait until the end of the year to make his competitive Chelsea debut.

Chelsea sources blaming injuries

It has been claimed that some at the club put a lot of faith in the former RB Leipzig man to help solve their attacking woes this season.

He looked as if he was going that way during pre-season too, with him finding the net on a regular basis.

Supporters looking at the club since that tour of the United States though will not recognise the football they’re watching.

Goals have completely dried up again, and plenty of fingers are being pointed at Nicolas Jackson for his lack of contributions so far.

He has just one goal in the league so far, despite starting every game so far this season.

The Blues may be rejoiced by a return to fitness for Armando Broja, whose appearance last weekend was the only real positive of a tough afternoon at Stamford Bridge against Aston Villa.
