[Saba Sports News] Ed Hodge, the personal trainer of
Chelsea’s centre back Trevoh Chalobah, recently spoke out to the Daily Mail,
describing Chelsea’s injury situation as “a mess.” Hodge expressed
that very few players at Chelsea engage in Pilates or Terrain training, and he
believes that many injuries occur due to players repeatedly straining their
muscles without proper post-game stretching. Hodge’s comments sparked
complaints from fans, who criticised the new owner,
Todd Boehly, for dismissing previous professionals and contributing to
Chelsea’s injury issues. In response, Chalobah addressed the situation and
clarified that Ed Hodge is not his personal trainer. As a result of his
complaints about Chelsea’s injury crisis, Ed Hodge has been banned from the
club.
