Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says both Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja should be fit to face Burnley despite being forced off against Fulham with injury issues.<\/p>\n

The Blues picked up just their second win of the Premier League season as they saw off their west London neighbours at Craven Cottage on Monday night in a 2-0 win, with Mudryk and Broja both getting on the scoresheet in the first half.<\/p>\n
It was the Ukrainian who opened the scoring, collecting Levi Colwill\u2019s clipped pass and firing under the legs of Bernd Leno to finally bag his first goal for Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Barely 20 seconds after the restart the visitors had a second goal, with Cole Palmer intercepting a poor pass from Tim Ream and slipping in Broja, who enjoyed a touch of fortune as Ream\u2019s attempted tackle ricocheted in.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Chelsea, Mudryk did not return to the pitch for the second half while Broja \u2013 who was making his first start since December \u2013 pulled up and looked in discomfort as he was subbed off in the 65th minute.<\/p>\n
Pochettino has played down concerns about the pair, however, and says they only have minor issues that should not prevent them from taking part in Saturday\u2019s trip to Turf Moor to take on Burnley.<\/p>\n
Asked about the importance of Mudryk finally scoring, Pochettino told Sky Sports after the game: \u2018Yes it\u2019s important. I think it\u2019s always important for the offensive players to score goals and it\u2019s the first for him.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was doing well, unlucky in half-time that he felt something in his quad but hopefully it is not a big issue and he will be ready for Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u2018But I think for Broja also after a big period outside it\u2019s important for him [to score]. So I\u2019m happy for both and hopefully they can recover for the weekend.\u2019<\/p>\n
Moises Caicedo also appeared to pick up a knock to his knee deep in stoppage time, though joined the rest of the squad as they applauded the away fans after the match, and Pochettino says the club cannot get bogged down by their injury crisis.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u2018When you have so many injuries like us the results can be affected. Of course for us also it\u2019s affected but I think we try not to put that as an excuse.<\/p>\n
\u2018We tried to make the people believe, and everyone is important in the squad, but I think the moment we are complete and we have all players ready and fit, I think we are going to be so competitive.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s an amazing squad and very talented, it\u2019s only a matter of time. But it\u2019s so important for us to feel the victory and the three points to build our confidence for the next week.\u2019<\/p>\n
