Chelsea’s £19m Signing Omari Kellyman Confirms He Has Just Suffered a Bad Injury, He’ll Be Out For Months
Chelsea’s injury woes have struck once again, with summer signing Omari Kellyman confirming he will be out of action for several months due to a hamstring injury.
The £19 million acquisition, who joined Chelsea in a high-profile deal that saw Ian Maatsen head to Aston Villa, took to Twitter to express his frustration and resolve.
“Gutted to have suffered a hamstring injury. Part of the game but I’ll be back stronger,” Kellyman wrote, offering a glimpse of his determination to recover swiftly.
Kellyman’s injury is the latest setback in what has been a challenging period for Chelsea’s squad. Under Mauricio Pochettino, the club has struggled with a string of injuries to key players.
Last season saw the likes of Romeo Lavia, Reece James, and Christopher Nkunku frequently sidelined, impacting the team’s performance. This season began with some hope as Wesley Fofana made a promising start, having missed the entirety of the previous campaign.

However, the optimism was tempered by the recent 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, where Malo Gusto was forced off the pitch with a suspected hamstring issue.
Although Enzo Maresca expressed concerns about the severity of Gusto’s injury, it now appears that Kellyman’s situation is even more dire. Fabrizio Romano reports that the young talent could be out for up to two months, adding to the club’s growing list of injury concerns.
Despite initial plans to loan Kellyman out for regular football with the youth sides, Chelsea decided against it, leaving him to fight for a place in the first team.
The decision now seems particularly poignant as the club faces yet another hurdle in its quest to build a stable and successful squad.
As Chelsea navigates these turbulent times, fans and staff alike will be hoping this injury setback is not indicative of a continuing trend at Stamford Bridge.
