Chelsea will pay £2.1M as a result of Joao Felix’s red card against Fulham.

Joao Felix’s red card on his Premier League debut for Chelsea against Fulham on Thursday, January 13, will cost the London-based club a whopping £2.1 million.

Felix was shown a red card over a high tackle on a Fulham defender, Kenny Tete, during the match which the Cottagers won 2-1.

This is coming after Chelsea agreed to pay a loan fee of £9m in a 6-month deal with Atletico Madrid for Felix. The London club will also cover Felix’s wages during his spell in west London, estimated to be worth £6m.

It is expected the deal will cost Chelsea £15m in the remaining 21 Premier League games, including Thursday’s defeat to Fulham.

Graham Potter discusses the potential signing of Cristiano Ronaldo by Chelsea.

When the transfer window opens in January, Chelsea Football Club will be eager to add more players.

Graham Potter, the Blues’ head coach, was questioned about whether Todd Boehly had informed him that Cristiano Ronaldo might join the team. On Saturday, October 22, 2022, the Englishman was talking after the match against the Red Devils.

During the summer transfer window, Ronaldo was connected to Chelsea, but Thomas Tuchel, the club’s former manager, had no interest in bringing the Portuguese player to London.

Due to the incident that occurred during the match against Tottenham, the 37-year-old and Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag have not been on the best of terms.

First-team member of Chelsea is disqualified from the World Cup.

Following Reece James’ injury, there have been concerns inside the Chelsea Football Club.

On Tuesday, October 11, 2022, during the Blues’ UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan at San Siro, the right-back sustained an injury. The team has reported that James’ knee injury was more serious than initially thought.

The player will visit a specialist to determine the severity of the injury, according to Blues head coach Graham Potter.

He is scheduled to see a specialist over the weekend, so I can’t say much more until we learn that. From my standpoint, that would be conjecture. All I know is that we need to investigate the discomfort and see an expert. He stated he didn’t feel too awful when he spoke to me yesterday, but until it gets checked, you won’t know. There is no point in considering the worst-case situation; we will simply wait and see.

Graham Potter and the supporters of Chelaea will suffer a setback as they attempt to qualify for the Champions League because James is anticipated to be sidelined for at least six to eight weeks. The player’s absence will also hurt England, who are already without Kyle Walker and James and are attempting to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966.

Gareth Southgate, the England coach, will now have to decide between Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool and Kieran Trippier of Newcastle, who has been filling in at left-back for the Three Lions.

Diego Costa has signed a free transfer with Wolves.

Wolves signed former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa on a season-long loan on Monday. 

Since leaving Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro in January, the 33-year-old has been without a club. 

Wolves were in need of attacking options following the arrival of a new signing. On his debut against Southampton last week, Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury. 

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Diego Costa to Wolves, and back to the Premier League,” said Wolves chairman Jeff Shi.

Diego Costa

“A serial winner with a wealth of top-flight experience, Diego will bring something special to our dressing room and on the pitch, and we look forward to his impact at Molineux.”

Wolves have scored three goals in their first six Premier League games and are 14th in the table with six points. 

Costa previously played for Chelsea, where he scored 59 goals in 120 games and led the Blues to two Premier League titles. 

However, his career has been marred by a string of on-field outbursts, and he has struggled to match the heights of his time at Chelsea and his first spell at Atletico Madrid since leaving London in 2017.

Costa returned to Brazil with Atletico Mineiro in August 2021 after spending two and a half years in Madrid, but he struggled to make an impact before his contract was terminated in January.

After a poor start to the season, Chelsea fires manager Tuchel.

Thomas Tuchel

Chelsea fired manager Thomas Tuchel as a result of the team’s disappointing season debut. The most recent performance, a 1-0 defeat in the Champions League to Dinamo Zagreb, was the tipping point for Todd Boehly, who has fired his manager with immediate effect.

While the Club works quickly to appoint a new head coach, Chelsea’s coaching staff will oversee the team throughout training and during the preparation of our forthcoming matches.

Dinamo defeats Chelsea and ruins Aubameyang’s debut in the UCL.

Due to Dinamo Zagreb’s shocking 1-0 victory on Tuesday, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Champions League debut for Chelsea was destroyed. 

After being paired with Dinamo, Red Bull Salzburg, and AC Milan in Group E, Thomas Tuchel’s team was predicted to breeze through the division. But when Mislav Orsic’s first-half goal punished the Blues for yet another poor performance in Zagreb, their mission might not be as straightforward. 

Tuchel is under pressure to produce championships in exchange for the enormous investment he has made after spending £250 million ($280 million) on new acquisitions since the end of the previous season. However, Chelsea’s spending binge hasn’t yet paid off as evidenced by their lack of standout Premier League performances and current streak of three straight away losses in all competitions.

Aubameyang had a forgettable debut after moving to Chelsea from Barcelona in a £10.3 million deadline-day move just months after his bitter departure from Arsenal. The 33-year-old only trained with Chelsea for the first time on Sunday and has only played eight minutes this season. 

Aubameyang recently cracked his jaw following a brutal house invasion, necessitating a trip to Italy for the Gabon striker’s special protective mask to be installed. 

Aubameyang appeared uneasy as he battled to get past the Croatian champions’ tight defense, whether it was the mask or his lack of familiarity with his new teammates. 

When Kai Havertz whipped in a seductive pass, the first warning flag appeared when he chose not to attack the close post. Aubameyang then had a clear shot at goal but hesitated before deciding whether to fire or pass to Raheem Sterling, putting Zagreb in jeopardy. 

Early on, Chelsea controlled the ball with dominance, but in the 13th minute, a merciless Dinamo counterattack caught them off guard.
