Calum McFarlane confirms triple Chelsea injury blow

Chelsea interim manager Calum McFarlane has confirmed a triple injury blow ahead of the Premier League clash against Liverpool on the road on Saturday.

The Blues have been in horrendous form in recent months and have suffered six straight defeats. They face a tough outing at the Reds this weekend and ahead of the game, the club will be without some key players.

Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto were absent for the recent loss to Nottingham Forest with knocks and have not recovered in time.

The Blues will also be without goalkeeper Robert Sanchez for the encounter. McFarlane told reporters: "Neto and Garnacho are carrying knocks, so it is looking unlikely [they will face Liverpool]. Rob [Sanchez] is not going to be available."

Chelsea are going through one of the worst phases in their long history, but they need a win under their belt before the FA Cup final against Manchester City on the 16th of May.

Joao Pedro ended a five-match scoreless league run with a fantastic overhead goal. The Brazilian will be aiming to impress against the Reds before the Wembley showdown.
