Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Chelsea, might make his comeback against Aston Villa.
The £115 million summer acquisition is hoping to be ready to play at Stamford Bridge on Sunday after missing last weekend’s 0-0 draw at Bournemouth due to a knee issue.
Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke are both healthy, and Armando Broja might also rejoin the team.
Along with long-term absentees Marcus Bettinelli, Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Benoit Badiashile, and Carney Chukwuemeka are still on the sidelines.
Tomorrow, we need to evaluate Moi [Caicedo], Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino stated on Friday. He was exercising differently from the team.
“Perhaps we need one more day for Broja. Perhaps Armando can help. The number of players participating in the games is growing. Broja might participate this weekend, but it will be his first competition in nine months.
In response to a question about whether Broja could help Chelsea score more goals, Pochettino said, “We cannot put the blame on him. The team’s joint effort is required.
Benoit Badiashile said when asked about the alleged obstacle to his recovery from injury: “It was a separate muscle.
“A different, but insignificant, thing. Reece James is his trainer. I have seen Reece, [Carney] Chukwuemeka, [Trevoh] Chalobah, and others. They will soon begin practicing with the team.
Sanchez; Gusto; Disasi; Silva; Colwill; Fernandez; Ugochukwu; Sterling; Gallagher; Mudryk; Jackson make up Chelsea’s expected starting lineup (4-2-3-1).
Broja, Caicedo, Madueke, and Cucurella are in doubt.
Removed from service: Badiashile, Bettinelli, Chalobah, Chukwuemeka, Fofana, James, Nkunku, and Lavia
