Chelsea striker Joao Pedro has been sidelined by a knee injury. Initially, the 25-year-old sought specialist treatment in London to accelerate recovery after experiencing discomfort following a match against Hull City on September 12. While the injury was not initially expected to be long-term, his availability for matches remained uncertain.

By late October, the situation progressed as Pedro missed several fixtures, including the London derby against Tottenham Hotspur. Manager Xabi Alonso reported that the Brazilian forward is dealing with fluid around the knee following discomfort experienced during training. Further medical tests and scans are required to establish a definitive recovery timeline. In his absence, the club has utilized Morgan Rogers in a forward role.
