Chelsea striker Joao Pedro has wasted no time during this international break.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pedro<\/a> had to pull out of the Brazil squad because of injury and missed Chelsea\u2019s<\/a> 3-0 defeat to Brentford just before club football took a pause. No decision on whether he will be included in the squad to face Bournemouth has been made, but the 24-year-old is doing everything he can to be fit for that game.<\/p>\n

\n

According to The Standard<\/a>, Pedro has been visiting a specialist in London in a bid to recover from his injury as quickly as possible. Danny Welbeck has proved to be a capable deputy in the Carabao Cup, but Xabi Alonso<\/a> needs Pedro back soon.<\/p>\n

What do you make of the criticism Cole Palmer has faced since withdrawing from the England squad?<\/h3>\n

Rio Ferdinand is still a fan!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Going forward, Chelsea have been phenomenal this season. However, they really struggled against Brentford in Pedro\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n

In total, Pedro has scored three goals and provided three assists in just four Premier League appearances. He has been an output machine under Alonso!<\/p>\n

Arsenal were reportedly interested in signing Pedro<\/a> during the summer transfer window. But unsurprisingly, it was a non-starter, with Chelsea unwilling to sell such a key player.<\/p>\n

Since then, the Brazil international has signed a new contract at Stamford Bridge. The likes of Pedro, Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo are all thought to be untouchable.<\/p>\n
