After a brief return to action with Chelsea's Under-21 side, Kellyman experienced a re-injury of his hamstring. In a statement on social media, he expressed his disappointment: "Beyond gutted to say that this season has come to an early end for me due to a re-injury of my hamstring, despite only just returning after having hamstring issues for a massive part of this season."

As a result, Kellyman will miss the remainder of the season and is expected to undergo surgery to address the issue. The club's medical team will oversee his rehabilitation, aiming for a full recovery ahead of the next season. (Source: Sports Yahoo)
