In a tense Champions League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea managed to secure a draw, but it came at a heavy cost. The London club lost two of their key players—goalkeeper Petr Cech and captain John Terry—due to injuries.
Cech suffered a shoulder injury after a challenge involving David Luiz and Raul Garcia. The Czech goalkeeper had to be replaced by Mark Schwarzer, with Mourinho confirming that Cech’s season was over. “His season is over. Don’t ask me for technical details, but his season is over,” said Mourinho.
John Terry also limped off after an injury sustained when David Luiz accidentally stepped on his foot. Mourinho indicated that Terry would be sidelined for about a month, unless Chelsea manages to reach the Champions League final, in which case Terry could return.
This is a significant setback for Chelsea as they head into the return leg with crucial players missing. Would you like more updates on how Chelsea is preparing for the upcoming match?
