However, midfielder Moisés Caicedo, who had been battling leg pain, will participate in the match, alongside Enzo Fernández. New signing Liam Delap will again start among the first eleven.
Chelsea’s lineup consists of: Sánchez; James, Chalobah, Colwill, and Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo, and Palmer; Pedro Neto, Gusto, and Delap. The team is coached by Enzo Maresca.
