Despite the fact that Marlon Pack is healthy enough to play against Charlton on Saturday, according to John Mousinho, after suffering an injury to his ankle ligament,
Anjorin’s hamstring damage is worse than first thought, according to scan results. Chelsea will be contacted regarding treatment, and his absence will now be at least eight weeks.
Regarding Poole, the Blues are still awaiting word on the results of his problematic knee scan, which was performed on Wednesday in London.
He has already been ruled out of the Fratton Park match against the Addicks; however, it is unclear how long he will be out.
“Regan had a scan in London on Wednesday, and we are currently waiting for the results,” Mousinho said to The News. Even though they’re not always the fastest, we still need them by Friday at the latest.
‘He’s unlikely for Saturday; unless the result comes back and it’s pretty conclusive, he’s okay. However, he’s nowhere near 100 percent, so, at the moment, we would probably say Regan is ruled out.
‘We don’t know the problem; it’s very difficult to tell with a knee what the extent of the damage is. With things like hamstring tears, you know it’s a hamstring tear, which is really simple and straightforward.
‘Tino’s scan results are back, however, and aren’t the best news. It’s slightly worse in terms of how bad we thought the tear was—we are looking at eight weeks plus at the moment.
‘At the minute, we don’t want to put a definite timeframe on that because we’re going to get a second opinion and send everything back to Chelsea. They will decide what to do with it from that point on.
‘Tino is still with us at present, and we’ll take it from there. It’s not the best news, but it’s one of those things we have to deal with.’
Meanwhile, there’s encouraging news on Pack, who has been sidelined since the end of September with the ankle injury inflicted by Wigan’s Charlie Wyke.
Mousinho went on, “It’s a huge boost for us that we have one new face returning to availability in Marlon.”
He has been back to full training for the last ten days; since the Wigan game, his progress has been gradual.
In addition to match fitness, we want to make sure that players are prepared for full training when they return. Marlon might start against Charlton for whatever reason.
