Won't play in FA Cup Chukwuemeka (knee) won't be available for selection against Preston North End on Saturday, manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed during his pre-match press conference on Friday. 'C...

Impact Chukwuemeka suffered an injury setback in October, but Pochettino said he might return to action as soon as next week, so he's definitively trending in the right direction. That said, he's not much of a fantasy factor even when available, as evidenced by the fact he hasn't played since Aug. 20, when he logged 45 minutes in a 3-1 loss to West Ham United.

Suffers injury setback Chukwuemeka suffered an injury setback over the international break and will undergo further tests.

Impact This is the last thing Chukwuemeka needed after being on the bench just prior to the break. He's already missed two months of this season and this setback could turn that into three months. The hope is that it's minor and he'll be able to return before the November international break, but given the injury situation at Chelsea, nothing is ever a certainty.

On bench to face Burnley Chukwuemeka is fit and in the match day squad to face Burnley on Saturday.

Impact Cukwuemeka returns from a knee injury which has kept him out of Chelsea's past five matches. The midfielder had started both matches for the Blues prior to injury, but will need to recover full fitness and form to break back into the starting XI ahead of Moises Caicedo, Conor Gallagher or Enzo Fernandez.

Remains out Chukwuemeka (knee) is out for Monday's match against Fulham.

Impact Chukwuemeka will be sidelined for another match after not making the squad for Monday's match. He has now missed the last five matches with knee complications and will look to return next week against Burnley.

Could get the call against Fulham Chukwuemeka (knee) is in contention to get the call up for Monday's match against Fulham. 'We hope maybe Carney will be back" said manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact Chukwuemeka has missed the last four matches with a knee injury as he could return to action against Fulham on Monday. Prior to going down on injury, he had scored once in two appearances, both of them coming as starts. The midfielder is expected to be in contention for a starting role in the lineup with Moises Caicedo.

Progressing well Chukwuemeka (knee) has been recovering well and is not far from returning to team training, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact Chukwuemeka underwent knee surgery in August and has been making a quick recovery as he is already training on the grass individually. This means he is not far from returning to team training, where he could make a return to the squad as soon as Oct 2 versus Fulham. Prior to going down on injury, the midfielder started the first two games of the season while also scoring his first career goal for the club.

Could return sooner Chukwuemeka (knee) could return within the next few weeks following knee surgery for a suspected MCL injury. "We will see with Carney. It is not as big an issue that would maybe ne...

Impact Chukwuemeka received some positive news Thursday as he is expected to miss just a few weeks following surgery on his knee. This means he could make a return near the end of September or beginning of October. The midfielder was having a fine start to the season, scoring a goal during his first two starts of the season. With Mykhailo Mudryk also dealing with an injury, this means that Moises Caicedo could be ready to make his debut to the starting XI since making his team debut during Sunday's loss to West Ham United.

Chukwuemeka undergoes knee surgery early in his breakthrough season at Chelsea

Chelsea says midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has undergone surgery on a left knee injury he sustained in the loss to West Ham in the Premier League

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Undergoes knee surgery Chukwuemeka underwent knee surgery recently and will begin his rehab, according to the team.

Impact It's not clear why the team didn't reveal what kind of surgery it was, but reports suggest it was MCL related, so that figures to keep Chukwuemeka out the next couple months. Following the loss at West Ham, it also gives Mauricio Pochettino a chance to tweak his starting XI and possibly formation. At this point, giving starts to Mykhailo Mudryk should be in the cards.

Being assessed for knee problem Chukwuemeka is dealing with a left knee injury that is still being evaluated. Manager Mauricio Pochettino told reporters Sunday, "'We need to assess him tomorrow. There will be an...

Impact While Chukwuemeka's status remains up in the air, it seems unlikely he will be fit in time to face Luton Town on Friday. While Mykhailo Mudryk came on for Chukwuemeka during Sunday's matchup with West Ham United, new man Moises Caicedo figures to be the long-term replacement for however long Chukwuemeka might be on the shelf.

Leaves match on crutches Chukwuemeka was seen on crutches following their 3-1 loss to West Ham United, per Rahman Osman of the London World.

Impact Chukwuemeka has not had the best luck keeping healthy as he was forced off at half time with an ankle injury. It does not look good for him after he was seen struggling to walk following the match. If he has to miss time, then Mykhailo Mudryk could return to the starting XI in his place.

Carney Chukwuemeka scores first Chelsea goal to equalize v. West Ham | Premier League

AUGUST 20, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Injury plagued season Chukwuemeka had recorded two Premier League starts in 14 appearances, totaling 13 tackles (seven won), eight chances created and six interceptions.

Impact Chukwuemeka's season has been full of injuries, limited his time on the pitch. He played just 344 minutes all season, which is equivalent to just under four full matches. The 19-year-old is still young, therefore will have time to improve his form, but will likely continue his bench role heading into the 2023/24 campaign.

Included in match-day squad Chukwuemeka (undisclosed) was named to the match-day squad against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Impact Chukwuemeka has cracked the starting XI just once this season, so the fact that he is filling a reserve role after his four-match absence shouldn't come as a surprise. Without a real shot at starting any time soon, the midfielder figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Back in training Chukwuemeka (undisclosed) was able to train in some capacity with Chelsea on Monday ahead of the UCL quarterfinal return fixture against Real Madrid this week.

Impact Chukwuemeka has missed his side's last four games in all competitions due to an injury he suffered in training in early April, but he is progressing with his recovery and could be back in the squad to face Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

APRIL 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt versus Brighton Chukwuemeka suffered a knock in training and is doubtful against Brighton on Saturday.

Impact Chukwuemeka has already been out of the squad for the club's previous three matches due to his undisclosed injury and could be out of action for a fourth. Considering the midfielder has made just one start in his 11 appearances this season, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to crack the starting XI any time soon.

Takes two shots in loss Chukwuemeka took two shots and created a chance in Thursday's 1-0 defeat against Manchester City. He also made two interceptions and won two of six tackles in the match.

Impact Chukwuemeka replaced an injured Christian Pulisic in the first half of Thursday's game, and he performed well in what was his most significant Premier League appearance since joining Chelsea last summer. The 19-year-old will hope this performance inspires manager Graham Potter to give him more consistent opportunities in midfield moving forward.

Returns to training Chukwuemeka (hamstring) trained with Chelsea's first team, Football.London report.

Impact Chukwuemeka was ruled out with a hamstring injury before the World Cup break, but is progressing in his recovery, and returned to training. The midfielder has seen just 43 total minutes of playing time and is a fringe option for the Chelsea first team.

Ruled out for Arsenal clash Chukwuemeka (hamstring) won't be involved in Sunday's game against Arsenal.

Impact Chukwuemeka will have to skip at least one fixture due to a recent hamstring issue. Mateo Kovacic and Denis Zakaria will provide depth to the midfield in this one.

Impact Chukwuemeka has featured exclusively off the bench this season, logging a combined 43 minutes in a trio of appearances. Without a clear path to the starting XI, the midfielder shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Dealing with illness Chukwuemeka is under the weather and could miss out versus Crystal Palace on Saturday after manager Graham Potter told reporters, "We've got a bit of illness with Marc Cucurella an...

Impact Chukwuemeka made just two starts for Aston Villa last season, so his potential absence is unlikely to significantly impact the starting XI. He remains a work in progress at 18 years old and doesn't figure to play much of a role for the senior team this season.
