BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2-0 NEWCASTLE UNITED: Eddie Howe's side were well beaten in Germany as absences caught up with the Geordies who now face early elimination
No idea why this is downvoted 😂. Chelsea have been plagued with injuries and no-one has questioned it.
Barnes, Burn, Murphy and Anderson were all freak injuries that can happen anytime and not related to playing time. Tonali is also non football related. Targett’s injury he’d played 1 minute and barely played all season. Basically that leaves Isak, Wilson and Botman who are both victims of “intensity”, which in itself doesn’t account for the fact that more games is more chance of pickkng up knocks. Willock was injured last season so doesn’t count. Joelinton and Longstaff both picked up small injuries early in the season before the multiple game weeks.
So it is indeed lazy to insinuate that intensity and number of games has resulted in huge injury list.

People acknowledge Chelsea’s injury situation all the time
Yes, but they aren’t blaming intensity is my point. Its just accepted as a bad run, which is what it is.
