Football player Cole Palmer is eager to add more goals to his record after scoring four in the previous weekend's match. As for Chelsea, they are set to continue their impressive performance at home as they face off against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League later today. Manager Enzo Maresca had made some changes to the team for their Europa Conference League game against Gent, but is expected to revert back to their regular starting lineup.
Unfortunately, Palmer, Wesley Fofana, and Romeo Lavia were excluded from the European squad due to various reasons. However, Lavia was able to make an appearance off the bench in the last game against Brighton, showing that he has recovered from his recent hamstring injury. On the other hand, Noni Madueke and Jadon Sancho have been the preferred choices for the team's wide positions and are likely to retain their spots after being rested midweek.
Defender Reece James has been struggling with a hamstring problem but has hinted that he is close to returning to the field. Maresca, however, will not take any risks with his captain's recovery and will likely stick with Malo Gusto, who has performed well as the starting right-back. The rest of the team is in good health as they aim to keep up with the top teams in the league.
During a press conference on Friday, Maresca provided an update on the team's injuries, stating that James is still out, but the rest of the players are available for selection. Sancho has been in top form for Chelsea and is expected to continue his impressive run in the upcoming game. The predicted starting lineup for Chelsea includes Sanchez, Gusto, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Madueke, Palmer, Sancho, and Jackson.
For fans wondering where to catch the game, it will kick off at 2pm on Sunday, October 6. Unfortunately, it will not be televised in the UK as Sky Sports has chosen to broadcast the Manchester United vs Aston Villa game at the same time. However, fans can stay updated on Chelsea's news, exclusives, and analysis by signing up for updates. As always, the team is focused on delivering a strong performance and securing a win against Nottingham Forest.
