Enzo Maresca faces lineup adjustments for Chelsea after the international break, as Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella will serve suspensions due to accumulated yellow cards this season.
These adjustments are vital as Chelsea gears up for a crucial clash against Liverpool. Maresca will be hoping that none of his key players return from international duty with injuries, adding to the team’s challenges.
Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, instrumental in Chelsea’s draw against Nottingham Forest, is poised to keep his place in the starting lineup. Malo Gusto is anticipated to continue at right-back in Reece James’ absence.In defense, Tosin Adarabioyo will step in for the suspended Fofana, marking his second Premier League start. He will partner with Levi Colwill, who has had a strong start to the season. Renato Veiga is set to take Cucurella’s spot, gearing up for a significant challenge ahead.
In midfield, Moises Caicedo is set to face Liverpool, the club he nearly joined before making the move to Stamford Bridge. He is expected to partner with Romeo Lavia, who returns to the lineup in place of Enzo Fernandez.In the attacking department, Noni Madueke’s strong performance against Nottingham Forest is likely to secure him another starting role, while Pedro Neto will remain on the bench for now.On the opposite flank, Jadon Sancho aims to enhance his synergy with the other attackers. Cole Palmer will function as a central link in the attack as he looks for his first goal against Liverpool.Nicolas Jackson is anticipated to continue leading the attack, pending any disciplinary actions following a recent incident in the Forest match.
