Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has stated that midfielder Conor Gallagher has been absent from training for the past three days due to illness.
Chelsea is scheduled to play against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Monday.
Pochettino gave an update on the team’s injuries during a pre-match press conference, as reported by Football London.
In his words: “So far, no [is coming back]. Same situation as last week, and you all know now that we added the list of injury players, Levi [Colwill] and Chilly [Ben Chilwell].
“Gallagher is not training because he has a virus. That is the news from the medical.”
“He is not here in the last three days we were training. We will see tomorrow or Saturday if he can have the possibility to train.”
