London's "Chelsea" is preparing for the Champions League match against "Qarabag" against the background of optimistic news regarding the squad.
Idman.Biz, citing leading British media, reports that several important players are completing the recovery process after injuries, and head coach Enzo Mareska hopes for their participation in the away match.
Team captain Reece James is already fully ready for the game. According to Maresca, the defender feels good and is ready for a full load after the injury. Striker Liam Delap has also returned to general training and is expected to be included in the squad that will go to Baku. Enzo Fernandez is also close to returning to the squad - the midfielder has already started training after knee inflammation, and the medical staff is confident that he will be ready for the match against "Qarabag".
In addition, defender Tosin Adarabio had not played for some time due to a slight problem with his calf muscle, but has now recovered and is ready to participate in the match. Wesley Fofana, who recently underwent examination after a concussion, may also be included in the application for the match against "Qarabag", although it is still uncertain whether he will be in the starting lineup.
At the same time, "Chelsea" will still be deprived of the services of some injured players. The team will not be able to use the services of Cole Palmer, who was injured in the groin area, Benoit Badiashile, who has a muscle problem, Levi Colwill, who has torn cruciate ligaments, and Dariu Essuqu, who underwent knee surgery.
Mareska said that in the next round of the English Premier League against Tottenham on November 1, newly returned players will be carefully released on the field so that there is no risk of re-injury. Thus, "Chelsea" will play the match in Baku with a strengthened squad, but with possible rotations in the starting lineup.
The "Qarabag" - "Chelsea" match will be held on November 5 in Baku, at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium, as part of the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.
