Reece James is serving a suspension, while Raheem Sterling will return to the Chelsea starting lineup against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Chelsea will look to continue the recent winning run when they lock horns with Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon. And Mauricio Pochettino has greeted positive updates on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture.
Reece James, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Benoit Badiashile have resumed training. But James is not available, as he is serving a suspension. Meanwhile, Moises Caicedo and Mykhailo Mudryk are in contention to feature after recovering from their knocks.
Of course Misha is improving like all the players. Always it’s about time, it’s about special circumstances. Every single player has their own special circumstances and we need to understand those circumstances. For Moises it’s about time because he’s a player you already know can perform in the Premier League.”
“Carney was close to joining us last week. This week he was training well but I still haven’t decided because I need to check now with the medical staff after training today. Reece was training with the group. It’s a shame that he’s suspended and he is banned for tomorrow. We are really happy with the way that he is recovering after his injury and he’s doing well. He is available so after the international break when his suspension is over he will have the possibility of being involved.”
As for the midfield unit, Caicedo should be fit enough to start. The Ecuadorian international is slowly improving and will look to make the midfield position his own. Caicedo will join Enzo Fernandez and Conor Gallagher in the middle of the park.
Finally, the offensive department should also some changes. Raheem Sterling should replace Mudryk, who will appear off the bench. Meanwhile, with Pochettino easing Armando Broja into the thick of the action, Nicolas Jackson will spearhead the attack. Cole Palmer will complete the numbers in the attack, with Noni Madueke missing out.
