Joao Pedro ruled out for several weeks

Chelsea forward Joao Pedro has been sidelined with an injury. The Brazilian attacker, who missed the weekend Premier League clash against Tottenham, is expected to be out of action for a few weeks.

The manager confirmed that the player is suffering from a thigh issue. While the club is avoiding setting a specific return date, it is certain that he will not be available for the upcoming matches. The medical team is monitoring his progress to determine when he can resume training.

У Жуана Педро пошкодження стегна, через яке він пропустить кілька тижнів. Подивимося, скільки саме часу знадобиться на відновлення. Ми не хочемо робити передчасних прогнозів, але до найближчих ігор він точно не буде готовим. Chelsea Manager

The injury comes at a difficult time for the squad. Joao Pedro had enjoyed a productive start to the season, netting five goals in seven appearances. Chelsea is currently scheduled to play away against Liverpool in the League Cup Round of 16 on Wednesday, October 28.
