LONDON: Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens is facing a long time on the sidelines after the 21-year-old suffered a hamstring tear during last weekend’s Premier League win over West Ham United, manager Liam Rosenior said today.
The latest injury blow came as Chelsea, whose five-match winning streak ended in Tuesday’s loss to Arsenal in the League Cup semi-finals, look to shrug off the setback in their next Premier League game at bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers.
“Jamie, he’s looking a little bit more long-term. It’s a real shame for him. He’s got a tear in his hamstring. I have not worked with him for too long,” Rosenior told reporters on Thursday.
