Trevor Chalobah and Carney Chukwuemeka have both suffered a setback in their attempt to return to the pitch for Chelsea.

The Chelsea pair picked up injuries at the start of the season, and have been on the sidelines for weeks.

Chukwuemeka seemed like he was close to playing again after returning to light training, but according to the statement from Chelsea, things have gone from bad to worse for the former Aston Villa man.

“Defender Trevoh Chalobah and midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka have both suffered recent setbacks in their bid to return from respective injuries sustained earlier this season,” Chelsea said in their statement on Wednesday.

“The duo will now go under further review before continuing their rehabilitation at Cobham with the club’s medical staff.”
