Chelsea Faces Injuries Against Newcastle in Cup

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed a fully fit squad for their Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle United, despite the potential absence of key players Reece James, Wesley Fofana, and Romeo Lavia due to ongoing injury management. Chelsea faces Newcastle after a recent victory over them in the Premier League, but Maresca is expected to heavily rotate the squad for the cup tie, which could see younger players featured prominently. Newcastle, on the other hand, will be missing several players, including Anthony Gordon and potentially up to eight others, impacting their lineup for the match. The tie is crucial for both teams as they aim for a spot in the quarter-finals, with the teams set to meet for the second time in a week. Maresca expressed concern about Newcastle's capabilities, especially in their home environment. The match promises to be challenging for Chelsea's rotated side, as Newcastle looks to capitalize on their home advantage.
