Chelsea
October 2025
Chelsea are in crisis with nine players unavailable and three first-team stars — Caicedo, Fernández, and Pedro — playing through pain after a punishing year that included a Club World Cup campaign in tough conditions. Maresca’s squad are stretched heading into a key clash with Liverpool.
BlueCo’s modern sports-science systems can’t prevent fatigue from minimal rest and heavy workloads. Pedro was forced to play despite requesting a break, while Caicedo has been ever-present. Chelsea’s low running stats highlight a team managing survival mode while rivals push physically harder.
