Chelsea's newly signed striker Emmanuel Emegha will not travel with the squad to Australia for their preseason tour after suffering a hamstring injury during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Bromley. The injury is a significant setback for Emegha, who was competing to be backup to Joao Pedro and whose final season at Strasbourg was also marred by injuries. The severity of the problem is unclear, but it is serious enough to keep him from the tour. Meanwhile, winger Geovany Quenda has a minor injury but is expected to join the squad soon, and young striker Shim Mheuka is set for a loan move. The article also notes that no World Cup participants are in the traveling party, though they may join later.
