JORGINHO NEWS

Subbed off early Wednesday Jorginho was subbed off after halftime of Wednesday's win against Everton because he wasn't feeling well, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Impact Jorginho was on his fourth-straight start, but something was apparently bugging him Wednesday, though Arteta didn't dive into the details. Unfortunately for Jorginho, Thomas Partey seems to be healthy again and will likely move back into the XI as soon as Saturday's match against Bournemouth. In his four starts, Jorginho had two shots not on target, three chances created and seven tackles (three won).

Heads to Arsenal Jorginho has completed a move to Arsenal from Chelsea and signed a deal until 2024 with an option for a further year.

Impact Jorginho leaves Chelsea after apparently not being part of the plans for manager Graham Potter. Vital to the team's prior successes, he'll likely now play in more of a bench role for Arsenal, at least when Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey are healthy. His move comes following the news of Mohamed Elneny's knee surgery, which will keep him out the rest of the season, at minimum.

Major defensive duties Jorginho generated five tackles (three won), one clearance and four interceptions in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Liverpool.

Impact Jorginho had so much to do in the midfield, as Liverpool sent wave-after-wave of attacks forward. The defensive midfielder piled on the volume but offered little going forward, as is normal. Jorginho will hope to keep this volume going as Chelsea look to stabilize from some awful recent form.

Executes two key passes in victory Jorginho performed two key passes in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Bournemouth.

Impact Jorginho, the captain, was instrumental on Tuesday controlling the midfield in Chelsea's pedestrian win over Bournemouth. He still has to contribute an assist for The Blues but from 14 appearances (12 starts) he has scored two goals.

Starting against Newcastle Jorginho is fit and in the starting XI to face Newcastle on Saturday.

Should be ready Saturday Jorginho (foot) returned to training and should be in the squad for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact It's a positive update for Jorginho, who may have been held out midweek only as a precaution. He's started five of the past six matches in league and UCL, only staying on the bench for the trip to Brighton. If both healthy, there's a chance Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic are back together in the midfield Saturday.

Dealing with foot injury Jorginho has a "slight problem" in his foot and is a doubt for Wednesday's Cup match, according to manager Graham Potter.

Impact Jorginho has gone a full 90 in back-to-back matches and probably won't be risked Wednesday if not completely fit. If this is a minor issue, he should hold his spot in the XI for Saturday's trip to Newcastle, but information for that match will come later in the week.

Shows good form in win Jorginho created two chances, made one tackle (one won) and added two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 victory versus Dinamo Zagreb.

Impact Although the stat line isn't anything to write home about here, Jorginho was arguably the best player on the pitch Wednesday throughout the full 90. He was crucial in helping to key Chelsea's second and game winning tally with an excellent touch in the build up of a Denis Zakaria goal. Across six group stage appearances (four starts), the veteran pivot man scored once and created a chance per match.

Impact Jorginho was held off the scoresheet but led Chelsea with three interceptions in the match. The midfielder's lone Champions League goal through five matches has come from the penalty spot as he lacks much open play upside for fantasy managers.

Scores in draw Jorginho scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.

Impact Jorginho scored once to move to two goals in the opening 11 matches (nine starts.) The defensive midfielder isn't any sort of offensive threat from open play but his role on penalties gives him some upside. Jorginho has finished with seven and six goals in each of his previous two campaigns with Chelsea.

On bench in season finale Jorginho was an unused substitute in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Watford.

Impact Jorginho was once again the number one choice at the base of Chelsea's midfield this season with a combined eight goals -- most of them from the penalty spot, of course -- and four assists across 37 appearances (33 starts) in the Premier League and the Champions League, even if the campaign was a bit disappointing for the team as a whole.
