The Real Reason Nigerian Striker Was Omitted From Chelsea Squad Vs Arsenal

Published: August 21, 2018

Tammy Abraham is back in contention for a first team spot at Chelsea after putting behind injury worries which kept him out since the start of the season.

‏ has informed allnigeriasoccer.com that the striker has returned to senior team training with the Blues and was involved in the activities at the Cobham Training Centre today, Tuesday ahead of their trip to the Tyneside this weekend to play Newcastle.

The 20-year-old has recovered from an unspecified injury which made him unavailable for selection against Huddersfield Town and Arsenal, and he will now work his socks off to make the team's matchday squad next time out.

In the pecking order of strikers at the Stamford Bridge outfit, the duo of Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud are above the Nigerian who has two league appearances under his belt for the club.

An England U21 international, Abraham previously enjoyed loan spells at Bristol City and Swansea City and has been linked with another temporary departure from The Blues before the end of this month.
