Liam Rosenior has confirmed Jamie Gittens is an injury doubt and Estevao Willian remains on compassionate leave as Chelsea prepare to face Arsenal in their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.
Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has revealed uncertainty surrounding his squad for the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal.
Winger Jamie Gittens is a major doubt after suffering a hamstring injury during the weekend’s win over West Ham.
“Jamie unfortunately felt his hamstring, I don’t know the extent of the injury,” Rosenior admitted, expressing disappointment for the youngster following his early withdrawal at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are also monitoring Estevao Willian, who remains on compassionate leave for personal reasons.
Rosenior emphasized a patient approach for the Brazilian teenager: “I won’t put any pressure on him. It has to be right for him.”
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is nearing a return to fitness. Chelsea must overturn a 3-2 aggregate deficit tomorrow evening at the Emirates to secure a Wembley final.
