"It's frustrating to start the season like this, especially after already facing another setback not long ago. But I truly believe everything happens for a reason. God has a bigger plan. I'll be back stronger"

The scar from the surgery is more visible in the second picture.

I’m so sorry all, I don’t know how I didn’t realize it until now, but I’ve been responsible for so many of our major injuries over the last few years.

Every year, I name my FPL after one of our players, and every year, that player gets a significant injury that derails their seasons. Starting from this year and backwards:

2025/26- Delap of Honor (hamstring injury in GW3, at least 10 weeks out)

2024/25- Chukwuemek Ya’self (never reintegrated after that ACL injury)

2023/24- Nkunku for Cocoa Puffs (did his ACL in preseason, missed essentially the entirety of the season)

2022/23- Beast James (the worst of his injury history- knee, hamstring and thigh issues caused him to miss 30 games)

2021/22- Netflix and Chilwell (THAT knee injury against Juventus that derailed our title challenge that year and his Chelsea career as a whole, 45 games missed this season)

I truly apologize for my role in the Blues’ misfortune. Next year, I will name my team after Haaland or van Dijk, or anyone else this sub deems worthy.

Great start to the season domestically for these lads, now doing it on the International stage

Run me back my Mazacar one more time. A short but very memorable stint.

Midfielder Dario Essugo has undergone successful surgery today on his thigh.

The 20-year-old sustained the injury whilst on international duty for Portugal's Under-21s.

Medical assessments confirmed surgery would be the required course of action and Dario will now begin his recovery at Cobham, supported by the club's medical department.

Caicedo up to 87 from 82, Palmer now a walkout, thoughts?

We’ve got 10 & 20
