Frank Lampard provides positive injury update on Ben Chilwell.

 Frank Lampard has provided an injury update on Ben Chilwell.

Ben Chilwell could miss the rest of theseason with a hamstring injury sustained during Chelsea’s win over Bournemouth, according to manager Frank Lampard.

The left-back started the match as Chelsea beat the Cherries 3-1 at the Vitality Stadium, but appeared to injure himself when running to the byline to cross on 74 minutes.

Speaking on the injury however, Frank Lampard was uncertain if it was a serious one:

'It’s a hamstring injury. We don’t know if it’s serious but with a hamstring injury at this stage of the season it’s clearly a worry for the last few games.' He told the club's official website.

Chelsea have just four matches left of their disappointing season, in which they dispensed with permanent managers Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, before appointing Lampard as caretaker until the summer. They face Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Manchester United and finally Newcastle in a tough season run-in.

Chilwell’s potential absence for those matches would be a huge blow for a side who already have their first-choice right-back Reece James sidelined, as well as Marc Cucurella, Mason Mount, Kalidou Koulibaly and Armando Broja.

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

 Chelsea 'resume' negotiations for £55m Everton transfer after failed January move Chelsea transfer news: Everton's Amadou Onana was on the Blues' radar in January and his situation is reportedly being revisited. Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino seeking a new midfielder to bolster his squad ahead of next season, it has been reported that the Blues have revived their interest in the former Lille midfielder...
