Following a hamstring injury sustained while representing her native Denmark during the international break, Pernille has been reviewed at Cobham by the Chelsea medical team.

Following that review and further discussion with a specialist, Pernille has undergone surgery and is expected to be sidelined for a significant period.

Pernille will now begin a rehabilitation programme with support from the club’s medical team. Everyone at Chelsea sends their best wishes to Pernille in her recovery.
