Chelsea: new blow for Lesley Ugochukwu

Injured in the hamstring since the end of December, Lesley Ugochukwu (19 years old) should be absent for six weeks according to The Standard. The young Frenchman, who arrived at Chelsea six months ago, has been carrying this injury for a month already.

This injury slows down his progress with the London team, already as the former Rennes player did not have much playing time: only three starts since the start of the season in the Premier League. Still according to the English newspaper, midfield problems could lead Mauricio Pochettino to bring back Andrey Santos (19), currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
