The latest injury update from Bergwijn, the winger who has been linked with a move to Chelsea, is that he is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury during training on Monday.
The Dutchman was playing for his club, Al-Ittihad, in their match against Al-Hilal when he suffered the injury. He was taken off the pitch and replaced by a substitute before being stretchered off the field. The severity of the injury is not yet known but it appears to be serious enough to rule him out of action for the rest of the season.
This news comes as a blow to both Al-Ittihad and Chelsea, who have been monitoring Bergwijn's progress over recent months. The winger had been impressing in pre-season matches and was expected to make a big impact this season for the Blues.
However, despite the setback, Chelsea will need to continue their search for a replacement for Bergwijn. They have already signed Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund and are also interested in signing Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, but they will need to act quickly if they want to secure a top-class player in the transfer market.
In conclusion, Bergwijn's knee injury is a significant setback for Al-Ittihad and Chelsea alike, and it remains to be seen how long he will be out of action. However, with other options available, the Blues will need to act quickly to fill the void left by Bergwijn's absence.
