Barkley has picked up a hamstring injury apparently.

Couldn't make it up. Injury after injury for our squad this season. 

Maybe it's karma for having so few last year.

That's not how karma is supposed to work. 😂

Well, hamstring injuries are usually not that lengthy are they.. Also Barkley looked like a strange element in our system anyway so he can use the time on the sidelines to study our tactic boards.

Tbf not surprised. Hes hardly played in 7 months and in the space of 3 weeks along with training hes played what like 140 minutes? Match fitness needed to be built up slowly but Willian's injury didnt help.

Where the hell is this guy?

Will be back training next week...

hamstring injuries can be very sneaky... as in it's very difficult to know when it's time to return/up the workout. Recurring hamstring injuries in particular can be stubborn.

Considering the lack of options in CM, we need Ross to come back ASAP. Thinking next season, either he becomes a viable option for the CM position or we will need to go shopping and it's not going to be for just one CM.

I know he has had a rough start at Chelsea, coming off a massive injury into a toxic culture. If Sarri does come, Barkley could actually potentially become extremely useful. He is an uber athletic hard working player with talent and a nice shot on him. I envision him playing the Hamsik role of most attacking midfielder. Barkley/RLC both fit that role and they could really come good with the system and coach. To me its not fair to judge Barkley until he is fully healthy, his clock starts next year for me & I think Sarri could be a blessing for him

I'm open minded about him. If Sarri checks him out in pre season and likes him then it will do for me.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Just been checking out his old Youtubes. I would like to think he might come good for us if hes given a chance and some confidence.

Also see he did a Panenka against Newcastle before Eden did

I like what I've seen of all the preseason training vids of him. Allot of the lads Alonso,Cescy,Pedro are laughing joking quite a bit. But barkley has got his head down and is really looking into it.

Hes looking really fit. I will be interested to see what Sarri makes of him

Over/Under 10g in all competitions for him this year?

Sorry, lost in translation aha if you had to place a bet do you think Barkley will score more or less than 10 goals in all competitions next year.

LOL I would have to get my magic 8 ball out bud.

I was hoping that Golovin will be joining us too. He will be the more forward CM and playmaker also. But in a fast playing, fast passing attacking team with a manager who has faith in him you dont know what will happen do you. Its all hopes and ifs. Its the same with RLC. I know I'm not his biggest fan but I'm open to the possibility he could get better under Sarri.

We just dont know. But to have a goal scoring CM would be perfic.

You should be a politician dodging a straight answer like that! lol kidding. 

I think Barkley definitely has the potential, and he looks fit. Would love for him to succeed. Ill take the slight under and say 8g this season with some assists as well. Chelsea fans have written him off far too quickly in my opinion.
