The Blues had something else to worry about aside from losing the match as they also lost one key player to an injury. Kai Havertz was on the receiving end of a tackle from Kurt Zouma and he limped off in the tail end of the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, Romelu Lukaku was brought in as a replacement for the German international, and speaking during his post-match conference, Thomas Tuchel confirms that Havertz has a huge pain.

The injury to the former Bayer Leverkusen star means Chelsea will depend on Lukaku and Timo Werner as strikers and that should have been a good thing but the reverse is the case, in my opinion.

Kai Havertz’s injury could spell doom for Chelsea and it could affect or limit their goal-scoring chances.

Three of the highest goalscoring EPL matches (Norwich City, Leicester City, and Newcastle United) Chelsea played this season were recorded with Kai Havertz starting as the striker.

The Blues were ruthless in front of goal during Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku’s absence and despite Havertz not scoring much in this period, he has been able to let others flourish around him.

Thomas Tuchel should find how to make Lukaku and Werner start scoring goals and if that won’t be possible, he should find the formula that would allow them to let others do the scoring, or else Kai Havertz’s injury could be a disaster waiting to blow.
