Impending Chelsea signing ruled out for months with ‘frustrating’ injury https://www.thechelseachronicle.com/news/impending-Chelsea-signing-ruled-out-for-months-with-frustrating-injury/ Chelsea have already made four signings for the summer transfer window. The likes of Dastan Satpaev, Geovany Quenda, Emanuel Emegha and Denner are all set to join Chelsea after agreeing deals. Emegha currently plays at sister club Strasbourg, where he played under Liam Rosenior. However, there have been issues with the striker over in France. Emegha was suspended over behavioural problems and injuries have plagued him at times. But Liam Rosenior has been very complimentary of the striker, calling him ‘amazing’ and ‘fantastic’ during the win over Crystal Palace prior to moving to Chelsea. There’s bad news now, though. Emanuel Emegha ruled out for two months His last competitive appearance was on November 30, 2025, a brief 21-minute cameo in a 2-1 defeat to Brest. Following that match, he was handed a one-game internal suspension for comments regarding his future move to Chelsea and a perceived lack of respect for Strasbourg’s standing. During this disciplinary period, Emegha suffered a significant thigh injury in training. While he was nearing a return in late January, he suffered a muscle relapse just days ago. And according to Strasbourg manager Gary O’Neil, this latest setback is expected to sideline him for at least another two months. “Emanuel Emegha will be out for about 2 months. It’s very tough and frustrating for him. He injured himself in the same spot as last time.”

Cole Palmer issues injury update after scoring hat-trick in Chelsea win vs Wolves https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/07/cole-palmer-issues-injury-update-scoring-hat-trick-Chelsea-win-vs-wolves-26764286/ Cole Palmer insists he is still not 100 per cent fit despite scoring a hat-trick in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Wolves on Saturday. The 23-year-old has missed over two months of the season due to a groin injury and Liam Rosenior has stressed the need to manage the midfielder’s minutes since his arrival at Stamford Bridge. Palmer cut a frustrated figure in the aftermath of Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday night, and the midfielder admits he has been unhappy due to his injury-hit campaign. ‘It felt good to score some goals and get three points,’ Palmer told BBC’s Match of the Day. ‘I don’t think [I’m 100 per cent fit] just yet. Obviously people don’t know what goes on behind the scenes but being injured the whole season is not ideal and when I’m not able to perform as I want to because I’ve been injured, and still dealing with the injury, but hopefully I can get over the injury soon by managing it. ‘I know what level I can provide when I feel 100% fit. Not being 100% fit isn’t ideal, I still feel like I can help the team but when I’m back to full fitness I feel like I can go to another level.’ Palmer also praised Rosenior’s impact after he replaced Enzo Maresca as Chelsea’s head coach last month. ‘Life under Liam is amazing, he gives us all confidence,’ Palmer said. ‘Lets us be ourselves, play free. I’m sure when I’m back proper fit you’ll see the best of me. Him and all the staff give us all confidence on the training pitch, with his strategies, the way we play, I really like it.’ Palmer also explained his celebration against Wolves as he covered his ears after scoring Chelsea’s first goal. ‘Everyone loves to chat rubbish, don’t they? I don’t pay too much attention to it. You see things,’ Palmer said. ‘But I feel like I’ve come from a strong place anyway so I don’t pay attention to it.’

I was talking about Kenan Yıldız: €6m net is around £202K PW gross

we have, by far, the hardest EPL games remaining run-in of all the top teams, FFS 6 games versus 'top' teams away to Arse away to Villa home v NUFC home v Citeh home v Manure away to Pool plus, other really tricky games: away to Everton away to Brighton home v Spuds away to Sunderland on the last day

Manure doing what they are doing is shocking tbh Carrick has done an amazing job so far I so hope they crash and burn, BUT I am not counting on it their games remaining: (only 4 of the 13 EPL games left for them are on paper 'hard', as in fellow top EPL teams 'hard': Away at NUFC, home to Villa, massive game versusChels at the Bridge, and then at home to Pool)

easy win versus a shite team, BUT we looked so off it in the 2nd half deffo should have been a clean sheet, ffs

Palmer is the first player in EPL history with 3 first half hat tricks

poor 2nd half effort ffs

why the fuck did the ref stop play????? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

well fuck and he is now on £202K PW (gross)
