Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is set for a six-week recovery after sustaining a severe ankle injury during Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain. The 26-year-old was stretchered off following a tackle from Achraf Hakimi, with images revealing a badly twisted joint. Meanwhile, Reece James, who missed Tuesday’s game due to a hamstring issue, remains sidelined for Saturday’s Premier League match against Everton.

Manager Graham Potter confirmed James’ injury is “not serious” but will be monitored post-international break. Filip Jorgensen’s groin injury, however, will require surgery, further testing the squad’s depth. Potter emphasized resilience, stating, “It’s a lot for all of us,” while defending 19-year-old Mamadou Sarr, whose sixth-minute error conceded a goal that “effectively killed” the tie. “He is a massive part of our plans,” Potter added, highlighting Sarr’s potential despite the setback.
