Chelsea's season has been marred by injuries to a number of first team stars, including to the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kante.

It’s not like we’ve been overtraining. It’s a bit of bad luck, but it’s also knowing how we can go forward and improve. Raheem Sterling and Christian Pulisic have recently joined their team-mates in the treatment room. 'Yeah, absolutely, we’re looking all the time, we’re going over how they are happening, trying to evaluate the whole thing,' he said. 'There’s not anything at the moment. Chelsea players are reportedly concerned that the club's decision to overhaul their medical department last summer has backfired - with the Blues said to be launching a review into their injury crisis.

Thursday's 2-1 loss at Fulham was a fifth defeat in seven Premier League games for the Blues.

The 31-year-old did equalise for the visitors at Craven Cottage – which was a bonus – but he didn't do the basics right in defence. More often than not, Koulibaly would be caught stepping out of defence, following an attacker, and trying to win the ball in an aggressive manner.

Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. There is a new solidity to United and Erik ten Hag has generated huge belief they can challenge for trophies and finish in the top four this season. Said Benrahma is tied for the team league in PL goals, with three, and scored in the FA Cup win over Brentford. Having 19-year-old midfielder Romeo Lavia back fit and firing is huge for Saints. Jordan Pickford continues to do his best in goal, while Demarai Gray is a real threat on the counter. The jury is still out on Nathan Jones from most Saints fans and that will be the case until they move off the bottom of the table and start to pick up points in the Premier League. They have been better defensively for most of this season but last time out against Brighton they conceded four and it could have been more. There is growing fan unrest, once again, as the Evertonians have hit out at owner Farhad Moshiri, long-time chairman Bill Kenwright and the rest of the Everton board. We have to keep working. We have to just keep going. “There’s a reaction from the side and it’s a forward’s tackle, shall we say, and there was too much malice in it.

15, and Boehly will face a stark choice: back Potter to turn it around in the face of growing supporter unrest, or blow up the plan after five months and start again. The club has been unfortunate with injuries and currently has 11 first team players unavailable. More than half are young players for the future, but of the more experienced signings, none could be called a big success at this stage. Appointing himself interim sporting director was also not well received, leading to snarky suggestions Boehly was “playing Football Manager” – a computer game where players take charge of a club. After a shaky start under the new owners, there is precious little patience for talk of five-year plans. Since the sale, the Dodgers have become one of the most successful, and highest spending, baseball franchises. He did an excellent job at Brighton and Hove Albion and, while sacking Tuchel was highly questionable, Potter seemed a sensible appointment for a long-term project. The problem is Chelsea fans expect success now. Potter was only appointed in September – on a five-year contract – but is already under pressure at a club where expectations are high. During the 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, Jan. Boehly is new to soccer but not professional sports.

Fulham recorded their first victory in the West London derby for 17 years, and it propelled them into the heady heights of sixth place. It simply wouldn’t go in for the visitors in the first half, but it took less than a couple of minutes before they drew level in the second period. The Brazilian was alive in the air to nod Fulham back into the lead. It was a chance made by Felix, who was lively throughout on his first appearance for Chelsea, and should have scored when he fired wide from the left. However, shots kept raining down on Fulham goal, with a half-volley from Hall requiring a half-block by Tosin Adarabioyo and a clawed stop by Leno to divert it away. The question was whether they could make their advantage in the table count.

Chelsea are a club still coming to terms with a tumultuous year of change with head coach and ownership in need of time to rebuild.

Both departed on free transfers at the end of last season and are contributing in La Liga with [Real Madrid](https://theathletic.com/football/team/real-madrid/) and [Barcelona](https://theathletic.com/football/team/fc-barcelona/) respectively. There is also the possibility people talk to them, don’t like what they hear so go to Todd and Behdad instead. The agent close to a senior player continued: “If I want to talk about my player, I will call Todd and Behdad. “The funnel is for everything to go toward Todd and Behdad. There is no hierarchy in place among them and that means everyone is going to feel they’re in a position of influence. They feel the club lacked a proper structure when they arrived, and are eagerly rebuilding and investing in youth. Should the current crop, similarly languishing in mid-table, lose to [Borussia Dortmund](https://theathletic.com/football/team/dortmund/) in the last 16 of the Champions League then history will repeat itself. Despite the current gap to the top four, they haven’t given up hope on that pursuit just yet, although there is an acceptance that the odds are starting to look against them. Potter opted more to encourage them in the hope of sparking a recovery at the Etihad Stadium. As one source close to a senior player, granted anonymity to protect relationships, told The Athletic: “The new staff will obviously have qualifications, but the players have lost people they are comfortable with. Now that a structure has been put in place to run the business and handle recruitment, they intend to remain in America a lot more to concentrate on their other businesses. He has been the subject of considerable criticism from fans over the years since his appointment in December 2019, and the team’s poor showing over the run-in last season led to more demands for his dismissal.

Chelsea have admittedly been battling a serious injury crisis this season, with 11 players due to be absent from the game against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
