Beniot Badiashile is facing a potential four-week absence due to injury. The Chelsea defender was forced off the field in the final minutes of the Blues’ 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup last week. The Standard reports that the 22-year-old has suffered a strain in his groin. This injury could see Badiashile sidelined for up to six matches, including the highly anticipated Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. While Mauricio Pochettino has other defensive options at his disposal, Badiashile’s absence will undoubtedly be a significant setback. The Frenchman had been in good form, starting in Chelsea’s last four matches. Missing the remaining fixtures in February could potentially provide Trevoh Chalobah, who has been linked with a transfer, with an unexpected opportunity to showcase his abilities. If Badiashile does not return until next month, he will be unavailable for the following matches: Crystal Palace (A) in the Premier League, Manchester City (A) in the Premier League, the Carabao Cup Final against Liverpool, the FA Cup Fifth Round against Leeds United (H), Brentford (A) in the Premier League, and Newcastle United (H) in the Premier League.
