Chelsea have received a significant boost as four first-team players—Enzo Fernandez, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Romeo Lavia, and Malo Gusto—returned to training after recovering from illness and injuries. This development comes ahead of their Premier League clash against West Ham United and their third-round Carabao Cup match against Barrow. Additionally, Jadon Sancho is working on individual fitness sessions after making his debut against Bournemouth. However, club captain Reece James remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. Chelsea currently sits eighth in the league, aiming to improve their position with a strong performance in the upcoming clash. Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to make strategic decisions regarding the lineup due to these player returns.
