The injuries are a result of the team's busy schedule, particularly following their Club World Cup triumph over the summer. Several players, including Cole Palmer, Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana, Andrey Santos, Levi Colwill, Liam Delap, and Dario Essugo, are currently sidelined due to their injuries.

According to reports, Chelsea are navigating uncharted territory as they manage their players' fitness levels. This is forcing players like Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, and Joao Pedro to play through their injuries, further adding to the team's struggles.

The upcoming match against Premier League leaders Liverpool on October 4 at Stamford Bridge will be a significant test for the team, with nine players ruled out due to injury or suspension.
