The Chelsea Chronicle said that Enzo Fernandez will not be fit enough to play this weekend in the match between Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Mauricio Pochettino will monitor his players’ fitness as Chelsea prepare for the return of the Premier League this weekend.
The Blues are preparing for another tough match against Newcastle United. Here is The Chelsea Chronicle’s predicted lineup for this weekend’s Premier League match:
Defenders and goalkeepers:
Robert Sanchez will continue to start, as the only player to have featured in all competitions for the club this season.
Two weeks off to recover will leave Reece James in good shape and he will start again next Saturday.
Support alongside Levi Colwill, who missed the final game before the international break through injury.
On the left will be a Marc Cucurella looking to continue to regain his form.
Midfielder Moises Caicedo hopes to be fit enough to return to the starting lineup after a long flight from South America.
However, it will be too early for Enzo Fernandez after the tense match with Brazil. He will be replaced by Lesley Ugochukwu, a 19-year-old player.
Besides, of course, Conor Gallagher will start from the beginning.
Striker Cole Palmer appears to be starting on the right wing for the Blues.
The opposite wing will be occupied by Raheem Sterling, who missed out on being called up to the England squad last week.
In the center position, Nicolas Jackson will continue to want to shoot after scoring four goals in the last two matches.
