Update: Lampard confirms Christian Pulisic, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Pedro will miss UCL clash with Bayern Munich.

It has been confirmed that Chelsea’s trio, Cesar Azpilicueta, Christain Pulisic and Pedro all have been confirmed to be out of Chelsea’s encounter with Bayern Munich this week .

This is quite serious for Chelsea. We wish Pulisic, Azpi, and Pedro a speedy recovery. Okay, this just went from bad to worse for Chelsea. Just a week before they face Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the Blues have lost their talisman American winger, Christian Pulisic. The player pulled his hamstring during a long solo run in the early part of the second half against Arsenal. Pulisic is so far Chelsea’s only scorer in the game. He was subbed off for Pedro.

This injury, combined with the loss of Cesar Azpilicueta in the first half, likely puts Frank Lampard in a very difficult spot before next week’s game against Bayern. Marcos Alonso is suspended, and without Pulisic and Azpi, he has a tall order to overturn the three-goal deficit from the first leg. Of course, at Bayern we have our own injuries, so we know how devastating it is to lose your player just before (or arguably, during) such a big game. Chelsea had an uphill battle against Arsenal, and now they will need a miracle to go through in Munich this week.

Injuries suck. We wish Christian Pulisic a speedy recovery, and neither team loses any more players in the coming days. Let?s hope for a good game of football in Munich next week.
