Posted : 22 August 2023
Chelsea's 19-year-old midfielder, Carney Chukwuemeka, is set to face a six-week recovery period following knee surgery carried out on Monday. The injury occurred during Chelsea's match against West Ham, where Chukwuemeka managed to score the team's only goal in a 3-1 defeat.
Having been signed for £20 million during the summer transfer window from Aston Villa, Chukwuemeka had begun the season as a starter in Chelsea's first two Premier League matches.
Reflecting on his recent experience, Chukwuemeka expressed his mixed emotions, stating, "Scoring my first goal for Chelsea was a bittersweet feeling, especially as I picked up an injury and we couldn't secure three points. It's a minor setback, but I'm confident I'll be back very soon. I want to extend my gratitude to the Chelsea fans for their continuous love and support."
The club confirmed that Chukwuemeka had successfully undergone surgery and will now enter a rehabilitation phase, collaborating closely with Chelsea's medical team at their Cobham training facility.
