Chelsea to Play Without Palmer Fofana and Tosin for Brighton Game
Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that three key players will not be available for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Brighton.
Cole Palmer is the biggest name on the list, with the forward set to spend around three weeks on the sidelines after picking up a groin injury. Palmer, who has only managed two league starts this season, lasted just 21 minutes in Chelsea’s last outing against Manchester United before being withdrawn.
Speaking ahead of the game, Maresca explained the decision to rest him: “We felt it was better not to risk Cole and allow the injury to get worse. The plan is to give him two to three weeks, hopefully he’s ready after the international break.”
The Blues will also be without defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana. According to Maresca, Tosin has a calf problem that will likely keep him out until the international break, while Fofana is still recovering from a concussion he suffered in the Carabao Cup clash with Lincoln.
Aside from those absences, the manager noted that the rest of the squad is fit and available for the Brighton game.
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
