The latest injury news regarding Chancel Mbemba sheds some light of why he hasn’t be involved in recent weeks.

The Chronicle report that he is still recovering from a leg injury that he sustained in training last week.

Mbemba suffered a painful burn on his leg, which is why he hasn’t been involved in either of the two matches after the international break.

The injury doesn’t sound bad, but Benitez had this to say on his centre back:

“We have Chancel who has a grass burn. He is not feeling well and I don’t see him as 100%.”

His absence has allowed the centre back pairing of Ciaran Clark and Jamaal Lascelles to establish itself.
