Set for medical tests
Chavarria (undisclosed) was scheduled to undergo medical examinations Sunday after suffering an injury during the final action of Chelsea's training session ahead of Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton, according to coach Xabi Alonso, per Roundtable. "Pep, in the last action in training, he felt something. Tomorrow he's having tests to get full information about the injury. But he wasn't feeling well enough to compete today."
Analysis: Chavarria will undergo further assessments to determine the nature and severity of the injury that forced him to miss Saturday's 2-0 victory over Everton. The left wing-back sustained the issue during the closing moments of Chelsea's final training session, ruling him out despite an impressive performance in the previous weekend's 5-1 win over Bournemouth. Jorrel Hato replaced him in the starting lineup against Everton and delivered a solid performance, potentially putting himself in contention for additional minutes if Chavarria requires time on the sidelines. Chelsea have a full week to prepare for Saturday's clash against Tottenham, although Chavarria's availability will depend on the results of Sunday's examinations and his subsequent recovery.
Inefficient in service
Pep Chavarria registered six crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Girona.
Analysis: Chavarria had two accurate crosses in six attempts but was a non-factor elsewhere as Rayo Vallecano tried to push for a goal. He should have more luck against Valencia in what is a favorable matchup, though he needs to be more efficient. Valencia have allowed 50 goals in La Liga play this season.
