MAURICIO POCHETTINO has said that his team will have to "adapt" amid a mounting injury and suspension list.<\/p>\n
Chelsea go into Monday's clash with Fulham sitting 14th in the table with five points from their six games this season.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the main issues facing Pochettino this weekend is Nicolas Jackson's suspension after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Aston Villa last weekend.<\/p>\n
Academy product Armando Broja is available after returning from a ACL injury during pre-season but Pochettino has hinted he may opt to play without a striker.<\/p>\n
The Chelsea boss said: \u201cWe have a few options with a striker and without a striker. <\/p>\n
"We need to assess the whole squad after the game. Things appear after 48 hours and we need to see how they are and how they recover from Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reacting to Pochettino's lack of options up and generally downbeat demeanour, one fan on Twitter said: "He's talking like he's given up already."<\/p>\n Another fan wrote: "He inspires so much confidence when he speaks." Alongside a sad face emoji.<\/p>\n A third wrote: "Sterling to start up front when we have an 18 year old on the bench. Lmfao."<\/p>\n Pochettino is plagued by injury problems across the pitch, with vice-captain Ben Chilwell being the latest absentee.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Chilwell limped off despite completing the 90 minutes of Chelsea's midweek 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Brighton.<\/p>\n The Chelsea boss looked concerned as he confirmed it was "bad news" and may be a repeat of last season's hamstring injury.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cBad news. The doctor told me is it is a bad injury but we need to assess in the next few days.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cYes [it's the same leg as last season]. I think so. It's the mechanism of the action. He was a little bit unlucky in the way he suffered the injury. It's very sad because he was doing a very good game."<\/p>\n The club have not been able to put a timeline on Chilwell's absence as of yet.<\/p>\n Malo Gusto is suspended after seeing red in last weekend's game against Aston Villa but first-choice right-back and captain Reece James could return from injury in his absence.<\/p>\n Meanwhile Christopher Nkunku, Benoit Badiashile, Romeo Lavia, <\/picture>I'VE GOT A TEXT! <\/span><\/p>\n
