Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, has confirmed that Enzo Fernandez and Axel Disasi have added to the team’s expanding injury list.

The duo are uncertain for Monday’s Premier League matchup at home against Everton.

Pochettino also stated that defender Ben Chilwell has resumed training.

Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and winger Raheem Sterling are among the 11 first team players sidelined for Chelsea due to illness.

“(Enzo and Disasi) have different types of issues.

” We don’t believe they’re big issues but we’ll see if they can be available,” Pochettino told reporters on Friday, adding the duo had not trained since Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Sheffield United.

“(Full back Ben Chilwell) is training, partial training and see if he can be involved in the squad on Monday. It’s good news, but he hasn’t played too much this season,” he added.

The Argentine stated that Chelsea’s injury crisis is a major contributing factor to their inconsistent play this season.

“It should be fair to have a fit squad to prove that we are a good squad and we can compete for big things. At the moment it’s not fair to the players,” he said.

“It’s really, really tough when you don’t have a squad fit enough to increase competition between them.”

In his squad to take on Everton, who are in 16th place, Pochettino hinted he would include a few players from the academy.

“Chelsea have one of the best academies, not only in the league, but in the world… they are going to have the possibility to be involved in the squad on Monday, a few of the players,” he said.

Chelsea is five points off of the top six and currently sits in ninth place with 44 points as they aim to qualify for the European competition.

“We are changing but we are still not in the level to be consistent enough.

“We were working a lot this week and hope little by little we will change,” Pochettino added.
