Chelsea Injury Update as Bompastor Confirms Absences Ahead of Spurs Match
Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor has confirmed that Lucy Bronze will once again miss out when the Blues face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, as injury concerns continue to affect the squad.
Bronze was unavailable during Chelsea’s recent heavy loss to Manchester City due to a shin issue. The defender remains sidelined and will not be included in the matchday squad this weekend.

Chelsea are also monitoring the condition of Aggie Beever Jones after she picked up a knock in the defeat to City. A final decision on her availability will be made after further assessment during training.
According to Bompastor, the team still has two training sessions before the Spurs game, which will help determine whether Beever Jones is fit to feature.
Mayra Ramirez Suffers Recovery Setback
Bompastor also revealed a setback in Mayra Ramirez’s return to action. The forward was expected to resume involvement in recent days but sustained a minor calf injury during her rehabilitation.
There is currently no confirmed timeline for Ramirez’s return, with the club taking a cautious approach to her recovery.
