Chelsea Manager Mauricio Pochettino broke down in tears as another Key Chelsea player goes off injured during International break training this night, a very sad moment for Chelsea Fans as the injury seems to be a career ending injury
Prior to the friendly match against Brazil on Saturday, four English players—including Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka—trained separately from the starting lineup.
This week at St George’s Park, the Three Lions are getting ready for their matchup against the five-time world champions at Wembley this Saturday.
Jordan Henderson, Saka, Cole Palmer, and Kane were not sighted with the rest of the squad on Wednesday. According to Sky Sports, the four are participating in “individualised training regimens within the gym.”
When the former Tottenham player was forced off with eight minutes left in the game, he was seen clutching his left ankle after crashing into the post.
It called into question his availability not only for Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarterfinal matchup against Arsenal next month, but also for England’s double header against Brazil and Belgium.
Despite the fact that Palmer, Saka, and Henderson are not believed to have any particular injury concerns, Kane did not train with his teammates.

Saka participated throughout the whole 120 minutes in Arsenal’s final Champions League match before the international break, a match that ended in penalties against the team from Porto.
Palmer also played through his final match for his team without any problems, scoring and helping Chelsea defeat Leicester City in the FA Cup quarterfinal.
On Tuesday, Kobbie Mainoo was called up to the senior England squad, bringing a new face to St George’s Park.
The young Manchester United player was first left out of the group last week, with manager Gareth Southgate blaming it on his lack of first-team experience.
However, two days after putting on an incredible show in the victory over Liverpool on Sunday, Mainoo was called up.
“I received a text from Steve Holland after being called up to the U21 squad.” Mainoo said, “He told me to come and meet him at reception.”
I was summoned up to the main squad, he informed me. I don’t believe it has fully clicked yet. I sent them a text message from home, and they are all quite happy.
