Chelsea's João Pedro sidelined with thigh injury ahead of Liverpool clash
Chelsea forward João Pedro is anticipated to be out for a few weeks due to a thigh injury, as confirmed by Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso. The injury will prevent João Pedro from participating in the club's upcoming matches, including the Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool.
Alonso stated that the Brazilian was unavailable for Chelsea’s recent defeat to Tottenham due to the injury, and the club has not yet established a specific timeframe for his return. Alonso acknowledged João Pedro's significance to the team but expressed confidence in the squad's depth to manage his absence during a challenging fixture period.
He emphasized the importance of building a competitive squad capable of handling injuries and urged players to focus on finding solutions instead of making excuses.
