In the Premier League Team of the Month is a player from Chelsea who cost $25 million.

Chelsea did have a player selected for the Premier League Team of the Month for September, despite their dismal performance.

The sole representative for Chelsea according to WhoScored’s official team is Robert Sanchez in goal.

Despite it initially appearing as though he would be competing for minutes, Sanchez has started each game for the Blues so far this season.

According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino was anxious to start the season with Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks

The Spaniard appeared to be open to a loan move to Real Madrid and seemed uninterested in competing for a spot.

Sanchez is not the only addition between the pipes this summer.
Djordje Petrovic, who they also signed, has yet to receive a chance to play for his new team.

When the EFL Cup match against Brighton rolled around, many believed he would have received his debut.

Sanchez in the team of the month.

Sanchez remained in goal and maintained a clean sheet against his former team despite changes made elsewhere in the team.

With tonight’s game as his next opportunity, the Spaniard will now be hoping to keep his spot and good form for the upcoming matches.

Tonight’s West London derby matchup between the two teams is crucial for the Blues at this point in the season, and they face Fulham.

The decision of who will start up front tonight will actually be Pochettino’s main concern at the other end of the pitch.

Nicolas Jackson, who last month scored the team’s lone goal, is ineligible to play tonight due to five yellow cards this year.

The Blues might start Raheem Sterling in the middle of the field tonight as Armando Broja is still working his way back to full fitness.

Chelsea’s star players Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer, and Romeo Lavia sent a message, Upon their return from a knock

It’s fair to say that Carney Chukwuemeka’s teammates have missed him since his return from a knee injury he sustained in August.

Romeo Lavia, Cole Palmer, and Christopher Nkunku all sent supportive messages to Carney Chukwuemeka as he returned to Chelsea’s first-team practice.

In August, the Blues’ game against West Ham ended in an injury to the 19-year-old midfielder.

Chukwuemeka was immediately given medical attention after colliding with Emerson Palmieri and falling to the ground while holding his left knee.

Several staff members assisted the England Under-20 player as he left the field; he later came to be seen leaving the London Stadium on crutches.

He eventually had surgery after several scans, then started a specialized rehabilitation program.

About six weeks later, Chukwuemeka is back at Cobham for first-team training, and it’s safe to say that his teammates have missed him.

The teen uploaded a joyful Instagram post to celebrate his exit from the treatment area.
In the comments section, Nkunku, Palmer, Lavia, Malo Gusto, Axel Disasi, Ian Maatsen, Noni Madueke, Lesley Ugochukwu, Diego Moreira, and Omari Hutchinson all endorsed him.

Chukwuemeka’s participation in the match against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Monday night is uncertain, but his return is a huge relief for Pochettino, who is trying to turn things around at Chelsea.
The Blues manager said he hopes the young player will be ready before the west London derby.

Pochettino expressed his “hope that maybe Carney and of course Noni, also, also, after his injury when he came back from the national team.”.

“He is hard at work getting ready. Yes, I do believe these two players will potentially be available for selection on Monday.

Pochettino then responded when asked how important the victory over Brighton was, saying: “I think it was a really important victory, not only because that victory puts us into the next round of the Carabao Cup, but to build our trust and for our confidence.

“I believe that we need to put forth yet another strong effort that results in a victory that the players, the team, and the supporters all need.
The team gave an outstanding effort.
We can become stronger and more assured for Monday as a result of this situation.

Chukwuemeka probably wouldn’t start against Fulham, assuming Chukwuemeka and Palmer are vying for the No. 10 role.
The Chelsea manager responded, “Yes, possibly [he starts against the Cottagers].
After only a few weeks with us, I’m so pleased with his performance.

He was able to perform exceptionally well and blended in well with the team.
Although he is a young and talented player, I believe he will start on Monday.
