Malo Gusto - Picks up muscle issue Gusto will be out for the second leg of their Carabao Cup Semifinal against Middlesbrough on Tuesday due to muscle fatigue as he undergoes a rehabilitation program, the club announ... Impact Gusto looks to be the newest Chelsea player to join their long list of injuries, having picked up muscle fatigue ahead of the club's Carabao Cup match on Tuesday. The club will hope that this is the only match their right-back misses and that he will be available for their next contest in league play on Jan. 31 against Liverpool. He has started in the club's past four contests, so his absence will affect the squad, especially with normal starter Reece James out due to a hamstring issue until April. While Gusto is out, expect Axel Disasi to move out to the right flank of defense for a couple of matches like he did early this season, while Benoit Badiashile moves to the center of the defense alongside Thiago Silva. The club will hope Gusto only misses this game and will be back on the team sheet by next week.
