Chelsea caretaker coach Guus Hiddink has given Chelseafc.com a team news and injury update ahead of this weekend’s trip to face Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
The Dutchman in his pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Wales, confirmed a quadruple blow with first team regulars John Terry, Nemanja Matic, Loic Remy and Eden Hazard all ruled out through injury, whilst Gary Cahill will have to pass a late fitness test after suffering a tendon injury while away with the England squad last month
Terry missed last week’s thumping 4-0 victory over Aston Villa after picking up an Achilles problem and Hiddink has confirmed that his skipper will once again be absent against Swansea tomorrow.
Matic was an unused substitute at Villa Park last weekend and the Serbian international will now miss out entirely due to bruising on his lower leg, but the Chelsea boss hopes to have the midfielder back for next week’s clash with Manchester City.
Remy limped out of the game against Villa after suffering a groin injury during the first half and Hiddink has confirmed the French international may now not play again this season.
Playmaker Hazard will continue on the sidelines with a hip injury that has caused the Belgian international trouble over the past few weeks.
