Personal trainer for a Chelsea star calls the injury situation a “absolute mess”
Ed Hodge, Trevoh Chalobah’s personal trainer, called Chelsea’s injury situation a “absolute mess” and seemed to criticize the club’s medical staff.
Chalobah, a defender for Chelsea, and Hodge have a tight working relationship. A screenshot of their private Instagram discussion went viral on Twitter before it was erased, appearing to reveal Hodge’s opinions on the Blues’ issues.
Chalobah, Christopher Nkunku, Reece James, Moises Caicedo, Wesley Fofana, Carney Chukwuemeka, Marcus Bettinelli, Romeo Lavia, and Benoit Badiashile are among the talents currently ruled out for the west Londoners.
Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach of Chelsea, has struggled with the club’s fitness problems as he has led the Blues to just one victory in his first five Premier League matches, which came against 20th-placed Luton Town.
“Trev hurt his hamstring,” By the end of this week, Hodge should have 90% of his previous sprinting capacity, he wrote in the Instagram messages.
The majority of injuries occur as a result of athletes repeatedly stressing their muscles without also extending them. then they are hurt by a tackle or a COD that happens too quickly.
Hardly few of them engage in terrain work, such as stair and hill sprints to strengthen knee ligaments, or reformer Pilates. Right now, bro, it’s a complete mess.
Given Chelsea’s disastrous season last year, in which they ended 12th in the top flight without winning a trophy, as well as their massive spending since co-owner Todd Boehly took over from Roman Abramovich, the pressure is amplified even more.
The most money ever spent by a team during a transfer window in Premier League history was spent by Chelsea, the largest spenders in the summer, who paid out £434.5 million.
The Blues’ most recent match ended in a goalless draw at AFC Bournemouth, and they are back in action on Sunday when they play Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
