Chelsea will wait to see if Levi Colwill and Benoit Badiashile are fit for Monday’s match at Crystal Palace….
Chelsea XI vs Crystal Palace: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest
Chelsea will leave it late to determine whether Levi Colwill and Benoit Badiashile are fit for Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace.
Badiashile was forced off during Wednesday night’s 3-1 FA Cup fourth-round replay win over Aston Villa with groin pain, while Colwill has missed the Blues’ last four matches with a hamstring injury.
Chelsea will also welcome back Trevoh Chalobah, who is back in training after suffering a second recurrence of a hamstring injury he first sustained in August.
“Levi Colwill, we need to wait until Sunday to see if it’s possible he’ll be available”, Pochettino said in his press conference on Friday.
“Badiashile, we need to assess him — we need to wait for a scan. It’s not a big issue. I think this afternoon we will know better his situation.
“We need to wait for a scan. [Trevoh] Chalobah is doing well with the team. Other [than than], nothing to update at the moment.”
Chelsea still have six first-team players sidelined through injury. One of those is summer signing Romeo Lavia, and Pochettino said it is “impossible” the former Southampton man will recover from his serious thigh problem before the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on February 25.
“Impossible”, Pochettino said of Lavia’s return coming before that. “No, he is still not training with the team. His fitness situation is he’s still not on the pitch.”
Meanwhile, the Argentine could start striker Nicolas Jackson on the left wing again, after the Senegal forward’s goalscoring performance from that position against Villa.
“His starting place was from the left, yes, but football is dynamic,” Pochettino noted. “He always plays better when he is facing the goal rather than back-to-goal. The commitment [from him] is amazing.”
Predicted Chelsea XI: Petrovic; Gusto, Silva, Disasi, Chilwell; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Gallagher, Jackson; Palmer MORENEWS
