Mendy undergoes surgery after breaking finger

Chelsea has been dealt another injury blow after goalkeeper Edouard Mendy broke his finger in training.

The club made the announcement on Twitter, adding that the Senegalese goalkeeper has already undergone an operation on the fractured finger.

This is coming after the club lost Christian Pulisic, Reece James, and Raheem Sterling to injuries.

The statement read;

“Goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has undergone an operation on a fractured finger sustained in training this week. The 30-year-old will work closely with the club’s medical department during his rehabilitation phase.”

Mendy has only appeared in 11 matches for Chelsea this season and has kept one clean sheet. He also started in just two Premier League matches out of the club’s last 11 outings, with Kepa Arrizabalaga being coach Graham Potter’s first-choice goalkeeper.
