Chelsea Faces Injury Crisis Ahead of Brighton Clash

Chelsea is set to face Brighton & Hove Albion for the second time in a week, following a 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup. The Blues are grappling with a striker shortage due to injuries, notably with Nicolas Jackson sidelined for approximately six weeks due to a hamstring issue. Christopher Nkunku is expected to step up in Jackson's absence, having hinted at a potential starting role. Enzo Maresca has made changes to the starting lineup, including the return of Filip Jorgensen in goal and Enzo Fernandez in midfield. Reece James is back on the bench after being rested, while Brighton will see Adam Webster replace the injured Lewis Dunk. Both teams aim to improve their standings in the league amidst their respective injury crises.
