Chelsea’s preparations for the new season have been hampered following an injury to right-back Branislav Ivanovic.

Throughout a pre-season pleasant in opposition to Austrian membership Wolfsberger AC, the Serbian defender suffered a dislocated shoulder which would see him leave out the following three-weeks of first-group action – striking him in doubt for the season opener against West Ham on Monday August 15th.

Although the in shape led to a secure 3-zero win for the Blues, an injury to this sort of key player might be a blow for Antonio Conte who had as much as that factor been having fun with pre-season.

Ivanovic’s replacement, Baba Rahman, is the natural alternative to fill the correct-again function should the Serbian omit any most popular League action.
