Ben Chilwell recently had fluid drained from his knee following a knock in England’s friendly against Belgium. This injury leaves Fofana, James, and Lavia unable to play for the rest of the season, while Ugochukwu may return to action in the coming weeks after being sidelined with a hamstring injury since December. There are mixed opinions on Palmer’s potential as a leader, but currently, his focus is on performing well and proving himself at Chelsea.
