Malo Gusto's Injury Raises Concerns for Chelsea After Fulham Win

Chelsea's 2-1 comeback victory over Fulham was overshadowed by a late muscle injury to key defender Malo Gusto, who was forced off after coming on as a halftime substitute. Head coach Enzo Maresca described the injury as 'not a good one,' suggesting Gusto may face a spell on the sidelines during the crucial final stretch of the season. The win moved Chelsea up to fifth in the Premier League, reigniting their hopes for Champions League qualification after two disappointing seasons. Gusto's impact was noted, as his introduction at halftime brought increased dynamism to the team, helping turn the game around. Meanwhile, captain Reece James, who was substituted at halftime, continues to be managed carefully following his own return from injury. The potential absence of Gusto presents a challenge for Chelsea as they face important league and European fixtures in the coming weeks.
