Chelsea team bus caught up in police chase just hours before win against Wolves with three arrests made

Serious concerns were raised for Chelsea's first-team squad on Monday afternoon as a police chase unfolded near the team's hotel just hours before their Premier League meeting with Wolves. According to reports from The Sun and MyLondon, the incident involved a crash and resulted in three arrests, delaying the Blues' team bus - due to carry the players to Stamford Bridge - in the process.

The exact nature of the incident remains unclear. However, one suspect was arrested for failing to stop, while two others were apprehended in relation to drug supply. The unexpected event in west London may have disrupted the team's pre-match preparations, but Enzo Maresca's side still managed to put in a professional performance and picked up all three points in front of their home fans.

Chelsea's win moved the Blues back into fourth in the Premier League standings, above a resurgent Manchester City. Maresca's men have already hit the 40-point mark, winning their 11th game of the 2024-25 campaign.

Next up for Chelsea is a trip to Manchester to face City. A win for the Blues would open up a five-point gap to Pep Guardiola's men and give them some breathing room in the race for a top-four finish.
