Chelsea forward Jesse Derry has provided an update on his condition after sustaining a head injury during the 35th-round match against Nottingham Forest (1-3). The youngster made his first Premier League start for the Blues but was forced off in the first half after a heavy blow to the head. “My dream came true – my Premier League debut, starting at Stamford Bridge. I want to thank Chelsea, the entire medical staff, everyone at St. Mary’s Hospital, my teammates, and all the fans for their support. I can’t wait to get back on the pitch,” the player wrote on social media.
The 18-year-old Englishman was stretchered off after a clash of heads with Nottingham Forest defender Zach Abbott. The forward remained on the ground for approximately 10 minutes. As he was carried off, he received applause from both Chelsea and Forest fans. In the 2025/26 season, Derry has yet to score in three appearances for Chelsea.
