Joao Pedro sidelined with thigh injury

Chelsea forward Joao Pedro is expected to be unavailable for several weeks due to a thigh injury. The injury was sustained prior to the London derby against Tottenham.

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso confirmed the injury, stating that Pedro is not ready for upcoming matches but declined to provide a specific timeline for his return. Analysts suggest that fantasy football managers should consider replacing him, noting that his return may coincide with a busy midweek schedule that could impact his playing time.
