Injury Scare: Bad News For Chelsea Fans As Starman Might Be Out Against Swansea

Ahead of this weekend’s premier league clash against Swansea City, many Chelsea supporters are already of the opinion that the fixture could be a title-deciding one.

Swansea kicked off the first half of this season on an extremely slow pace. Nevertheless, Paul Clement has come in and completely revolutionize the club. And while they looked like a relegation candidate a few weeks ago, many observers are backing them to stay up comfortably this season.

The game is sure an important one for both sides – and Chelsea fans would think it is more important to them.

Chelsea have been in fine form recently, so beating Swansea would certainly be a statement from Antonio Conte. But a defeat on the other hand could see the gap between them and the second-placed drop to just 5 points.

Therefore, it won’t be something pleasant in the ears of Chelsea fans when they learn that their club could be forced to play the game without one of their most important players.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois recently pulled out of a media appearance due to a bout of gastroenteritis, which was also confirmed by some Tweets on twitter.

Additionally, the Sun added that the goalie is now facing a fight to be fit for this weekend’s clash with Swansea. There are concerns that he might not recover from the illness in time.

Given that Courtois has been very important in the team this season, this development is a huge blow for the Stamford Bridge club.

So far this season, the Belgian goalie has featured in every Premier League game. And even though he struggled during his early days at the west London club, he is finally showing the form that saw him being regarded as one of Europe’s best young goalkeepers.
