After being eliminated from the EFL Cup, Chelsea seems to be facing a "total loss" situation. However, the team's striker Pema has scored 10 goals in the last five rounds of league matches, which has made him a top scorer. He leads the way with 20 goals, alongside Ainin Charant. The Golden Boot is only up for grabs for him. However, while this wave of offensive start, Pema suffered an injury trouble, may miss the key "London Derby" battle.
Chelsea captain Putjetenu made it clear in his pre-match conference that Penmar had not been able to train due to injury, and when asked if he would be able to go toe-to-toe with Arsenal, the skipper replied, "At a time like this, I would say a firm 'no'. The performance of our trip to Japan is uncertain, but as of now, I don't think he'll be able to last until the game. Even if Penmar recovers, he may not be in good enough shape for the tournament."
This season, Pema has contributed 23 goals and 13 assists for Chelsea, and is a key figure in the team's offense. His absence will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Chelsea. In addition, Pujitino also revealed that Chiwetel and Luigustu will also miss the "London Derby" due to injury.
