Chelsea’s concerns mount with surprise loss to Burnley
On and off the field, nothing is going right for Chelsea early in its English Premier League title defence.
Injuries to key players, frustration in the transfer market, and now a surprise 3-2 home loss on the opening weekend of the season to Burnley, a team that was expected to be among the candidates for relegation.
After a dream start to life at Chelsea, manager Antonio Conte already looks to have a tough job on his hands in his second season in English soccer.
“I am not worried,” Conte said. “I am ready to fight with these players.”
