Chelsea eyeing a replacement for Raheem Sterling as his Injury keeps lingering longer

Chelsea eyeing a replacement for Raheem Sterling as his Injury keeps lingering longer.

Christian Pulisic will miss at least two months after a fresh injury, confirmed by Graham Potter yesterday. Now, as reported below, Sterling is expected to be out for at least three weeks.

Still no formal confirmation, but Raheem Sterling is expected to miss a few weeks with the hamstring pull that Chelsea plan to continuously assess. He's already had two scans #cfc

We are currently in a transfer window, and this could mean that Chelsea might have a chance to either sign reinforcements for that area, of even look at a loan player to recall.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is currently on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, but Chelsea could look to try and recall him this month to cover for the above injuries.

It would all depend though, on whether Chelsea and Bayer agreed to a recall option mid-season, and it’s never been confirmed if they did or not. But I do wonder if Chelsea might at least try.
