Chelsea star set to miss Carabao Cup final against Liverpool due to a groin injury

Chelsea's defensive lineup faces a setback as Benoit Badiashile is set to miss the highly anticipated Carabao Cup Final due to a groin injury sustained in the recent FA Cup victory against Aston Villa. The extent of the injury, confirmed through scans, indicates a four-week recovery period. This unfortunate development not only sidelines the 22-year-old French international for the upcoming Premier League clash against Crystal Palace but also rules him out for the away fixture against reigning champions Manchester City.

According to goal.com - The implications extend further, impacting the crucial Wembley showdown with the Reds and the FA Cup fifth-round clash with Leeds. Badiashile, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Monaco for a substantial £35 million in January 2023, had previously signed a seven-and-a-half-year contract. However, his aspirations for significant playing time this season have been hindered by recurring injury setbacks.

Badiashile targets a return to training before Chelsea's encounter with Brentford on March 2, setting the stage for a potential comeback in the home game against Newcastle on March 11.
