Suffers injury setback Badiashile suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury and is again training individually, reports football.london.

Impact Badiashile has been out since May with the injury and while he didn't opt for surgery, the recovery is still taking longer than expected. It's an injury you can't push and unfortunately for Badiashile, it seems like he went a little too hard when he wasn't ready. At this point, his return shouldn't be expected until the next international break.

Not available Badiashile (hamstring) is out for Sunday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact Badiashile won't return Sunday but is nearing a return and is training individually. The defender will hope to make a full return in the coming days and could be an option for Sunday's clash with Aston Villa. Badiashile figures to be a depth option for the most part, especially with Levi Colwill and Axel Disasi stepping into such major roles.

Back in training Badiashile (hamstring) returned to training over the break and could be an option for Sunday's trip to Bournemouth.

Impact Badiashile has been out since May with this injury and even considered surgery, so he may need multiple weeks of full training before he sees the pitch in the Premier League. Once ready to return, there will be a question of where he fits in the XI with Levi Colwill, Axel Disasi and Thiago Silva all starting the first four matches.

Ruled out through break Badiashile (hamstring) will not be an option until after the international break with manager Mauricio Pochettino telling reporters Tuesday, "We need to wait until after the intern...

Impact Badiashile started 10 of his 11 appearances for Chelsea last season, in which he registered one goal on six shots (two on target), 33 clearances and 16 interceptions. Once cleared to play, the defender should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

Nearing return to training Badiashile (hamstring) is nearing the end of his rehabilitation and could return to training within the next few days.

Impact Badiashile is still about a week or two away from returning as he is close to coming back to training. He picked up his hamstring injury near the end of last season, which also ruled him out of preseason. When healthy, the defender will look to compete with Levi Colwill for the starting center back role since joining from Monaco in January.

Not ready to play Sunday Badiashile (hamstring) won't be an option against Liverpool on Sunday.

Impact According to the team, Badiashile is in the end stages of his recovery, so he could be ready to participate in training sooner rather than later. Even once cleared to play, the central defender is far from a lock to break into the starting XI, especially once Trevor Chalobah (undisclosed) is added to the mix. In the meantime, Levi Colwill and Thiago Silva are set to start versus Liverpool.

Missing preseason tour Badiashile (hamstring) will not be traveling with Chelsea for their preseason tour of the U.S., Bobby Vincent of Football.London reported Monday.

Impact Badiashile continues to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered in late May, and he'll remain in London to rehabilitate while the rest of his teammates travel for the preseason. Badiashile is hoping to be available by the start of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign in just under a month, and Wesley Fofana's recent ACL tear puts more pressure on Badiashile to return to fitness in Chelsea's central defense.

May need groin surgery Badiashile could miss four months and may need surgery for the groin injury suffered in training last week, reports The Guardian.

Impact It's a tough update for Badiashile, who was finally getting some run in the Premier League with straight starts prior to the injury. Now, he'll be on the sidelines the majority of the summer and isn't even guaranteed to be ready at the start of the next campaign. His hope will be to get back fitness quickly and find the good graces of the new manager after totaling 11 league appearances at Chelsea this season following his move from Monaco.

Impact Badiashile has appeared in just three of the club's last 10 contests but injuries to Marc Cucurella (quadriceps), Ben Chilwell (hamstring) and Reece James (hamstring) likely would have kept Badiashile in the lineup had he not suffered an injury of his own. Wesley Fofana figures to rejoin the starting XI with Badiashile sidelined.

Benoit Badiashile restores Chelsea edge over Bournemouth | Premier League

MAY 6, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Scores first EPL goal Badiashile scored with his only shot-on-target in Saturday's 3-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 65th minute.

Impact Badiashile scored his first EPL goal on Saturday. He placed an assertive shot past the Bournemouth keeper, Neto, from a well-taken free kick placed by Hakim Ziyech. The Frenchman joined Chelsea in January from AS Monaco and has not been a regular starter (been on the bench for five of the last seven games). From ten appearances (9 starts) he has contributed to four clean sheets.

One appearance in last month Badiashile is training well and is "very close" to breaking into Chelsea's starting XI, manager Frank Lampard said in his press conference Friday.

Impact Badiashile has only played in one of Chelsea's seven matches across all competitions since the start of April. He wasn't registered for the UCL and therefore was not able to feature in those games, but he's also been an unused substitute for every Premier League game in that span minus the 2-1 defeat to Brighton on April 15. Lampard explained, "There are a lot of young players who have come from a different league. It's understandable to have moments of game time and moments when you're not. You're finding your feet in this league. In a normal case, these players come in at a club like Chelsea at a moment of big stability. At this moment, it's not the case. Credit to those players, it's not easy to take that responsibility on their shoulders. They're all trying to work and keep going and we're here as staff to support that."

Not registered for UCL Badiashile is out for Wednesday's trip to Dortmund, having not been registered to the Champions League squad.

Impact Badiashile was not registered to the Champions League Squad and will not be available for Wednesday's trip to Dortmund. The defender has been a nailed-on starter since joining Chelsea, and will be a major miss in the Champions League. With the mid-week to rest Badiashile will likely remain a consistent starter in the Premier League.

Moves to Chelsea Badiashile has signed a seven-and-a-half-year deal with Chelsea from French side Monaco.

Impact It's a massive deal for Badiashile, who is yet another defender from Ligue 1 that Chelsea have gone after. It's the first signing for Graham Potter and one that will likely take away minutes from Trevoh Chalobah this season. Badiashile had been a regular at Monaco since the 2018/19 season, so despite being just 21 years old, he has plenty of professional experience.
