Exclusive with the team: Chelsea physiotherapy team learns dry acupuncture to treat hamstrings; 16-year-old genius joins

Chelsea remains silent on upcoming vote

This Friday, Premier League clubs will decide whether to introduce a controversial new salary cap. Chelsea did not disclose their voting intentions.

The policy, known as "anchoring," aims to limit each team's spending to no more than five times the prize money and broadcast revenue earned by the team at the bottom of the league.

Take the 2023-24 season as an example. At that time, Sheffield United ranked 20th and received 109.5 million pounds in bonuses and broadcast revenue, which means that the salary cap will reach 550 million pounds.

As early as April 2024, 16 Premier League clubs voted in favor of exploring measures to establish a spending cap. Three clubs voted against, with Chelsea understood to have abstained at the time. Now, Chelsea have chosen to remain silent ahead of the upcoming vote.

Chelsea’s signing of Dina Ordonez is a double blessing!

Chelsea reached an agreement with the club to sign 16-year-old defender Dina Ordonez. The defender comes from Valley Independiente, Caicedo’s former team. This once again shows that Chelsea's targets are not limited to future attacking stars.

They hope to find the most potential players in every position. Ordonez has signed a pre-agreement and will formally sign a long-term contract when he turns 18. He is likely to make several visits to the Cobham training ground before the move becomes official.

Cobham training base launches new treatment training

According to people familiar with the matter, Chelsea's physiotherapy team held a "dry needling therapy" training event at the Cobham training base during the international match day. An outside osteopath demonstrated to the club's physiotherapists in the recovery room how to better apply this therapy to the hamstrings.

I don’t claim to fully understand how this therapy works, but it is said to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve mobility by stimulating nerves and increasing blood circulation.
