“Defender Trevoh Chalobah and midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka have both suffered recent setbacks in their bid to return from respective injuries sustained earlier this season,” according to an injury statement.
“The duo will now go under further review before continuing their rehabilitation at Cobham with the club’s medical staff.”
