In the United States, a friendly match-planned London "Chelsea" now can only bite their nails. After the season in England and almost two weeks before the Europa League final, the "Blues" played a friendly match last night with the "New England Revolution" club. Playing on a rather poor field "Chelsea" team allowed almost all of the main lineup players to show themselves. One of them was Ruben Loftus-Cheek, demonstrating excellent physical form. However, it was exactly these matches that ended badly for him - the Englishman suffered an ankle injury. After the match, it was noted that the footballer left the stadium with crutches and a protective boot. It is not yet known how serious the injury is, but the initial impression does not give much hope to "Chelsea" fans. "Chelsea" won the match with a score of 3:0.
