It seems that Chelsea will have Romeo Lavia back in action for their upcoming Premier League game against Brighton. The former Southampton player, who was out for the entire last season due to an injury, had suffered a hamstring injury during their Europa Conference League play-off match against Servette. However, after some rest and recovery, Lavia has bounced back and is expected to be a part of the squad for today's game.
The Blues have been in great form lately, scoring four goals and conceding none in their last two games against Bournemouth and West Ham. They also had a dominant performance in the Carabao Cup, scoring five goals against Barrow. Enzo Maresca, the team's coach, made some changes to the lineup for that game, with Malo Gusto making a comeback after his thigh injury. He will be hoping to return to the starting lineup after getting some playing time midweek.
Unfortunately, Reece James is still recovering from a hamstring injury and will not be available for this game. However, the team has other strong players to fill in his spot. Wesley Fofana and Axel Disasi have been doing a good job as substitutes, but with Gusto back in form, he is expected to start on the right side.
In attack, Chelsea has a wealth of talent to choose from. Christopher Nkunku, who recently scored a hat-trick against Barrow, has been in top form with six goals in eight appearances. He even played as a center forward in the last game and managed to score three goals. Another strong option for the team is Nicolas Jackson, who had a brace in their game against West Ham. Noni Madueke has also been impressive on the right side, while Jadon Sancho has been making an impact on the left with two assists in two games.
Some players, like Cole Palmer, were given a break midweek to keep them fresh for the Premier League. He is expected to be back in action for this game. Overall, Maresca has a strong lineup to choose from, and it will be interesting to see how they perform against Brighton.
The game will kick off at 3 pm on Saturday and unfortunately, it will not be broadcasted live in the UK. But fans can still stay updated with all the latest news, exclusives, and analysis through various channels. So buckle up, Chelsea fans, and get ready for an exciting game this weekend!
