In their opening Premier League fixture of the season, Chelsea had a contentious encounter, managing to secure a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea Team News
Just this week, Chelsea’s bustling medical department received their captain, Reece James, who was promptly substituted during the match against Liverpool due to fatigue. Unfortunately, he is expected to remain absent from the Chelsea squad due to a hamstring injury.
The English international, Reece James, is currently contending with a thigh injury, joining Trevoh Chalobah and Benoit Badiaahile on the injury list. Additionally, players like Wesley Fofana, Armando Broja, and Christopher Nkunku are all in the process of rehabilitating from knee issues. With Chelsea’s second-choice goalkeeper, Marcus Bertinelli, currently unavailable, it appears that Sanchez will step into the goalkeeper position.
With Reece James sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Malo Guato will have the opportunity to showcase his abilities on the right-hand side of the defensive wing under Pochettino’s watchful eye. Additionally, newly acquired talents such as Caicedo and Lavia are being groomed for their potential Chelsea debuts in the upcoming Premier League fixture.
