Appointed Chelsea coach at the end of the 2022-2023 Premier League season, Mauricio Pochettino is having a complicated start. 12th in the PL on the evening of the 4th day of the championship, the Blues have won only one match for a draw and two defeats.
Even if it is only the start of the season, this assessment is already worrying in view of the 465 million euros spent this summer on the transfer market. A spending spree from Todd Boehly which raises the overall score to almost 1.1 billion euros over 3 transfer window periods. Just crazy!
Despite this totally incredible amount put on the table by the London club, the mayonnaise is struggling to take hold. And like “Troubles always fly in squadrons”, Mauricio Pochettino has had to deal with a slew of injured players since the start of the season.
Already orphaned by Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, the Argentine coach of the Blues will now have to cope without a summer recruit.
Arriving this summer from Southampton for €67 million, Roméo Lavia was injured during his club’s training session this Thursday. A muscle tear is strongly feared. An injury that could keep Lavia away from the field for many weeks.
When nothing goes right …
