“Reece James and Pedro Neto have” – Journalist provides important fitness update on Chelsea duo | OneFootball

Reece James and Pedro Neto have been involved in what’s described as “modified” training before Chelsea’s game against Wolves on Saturday according to journalist Kieran Gill.

Chelsea head to Molineux looking to make it four league wins in a row, and will be desperate for a positive response after Tuesday’s defeat to Arsenal.

The Blues have already won at Molineux this season in a 4-3 thriller in the Carabao Cup, whilst they comfortably beat Wolves 3-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the campaign.

Pedro Neto and Reece James could return against Wolves

Wolves have won just one league game this season, but Chelsea have to be fully focused on the task at hand or they could slip up.

Rosenior will likely make a number of changes from the Arsenal game on Tuesday night, and he revealed both Cole Palmer and Estevao are ready to play 90 minutes.

James was reportedly rested for Tuesday’s game, although other reports have claimed both he and Neto failed a late fitness test.

It would be a big blow if the duo were to miss out again, but Chelsea reporter Gill has provided an update on the situation.

He took to X.com and said:

“Reece James & Pedro Neto have been involved in what Liam Rosenior described as “modified” training in build-up to Wolves tomorrow.

“Both missed Arsenal match on Tuesday after failing late fitness tests with minor issues.”

Jamie Gittens set for spell on the sidelines

Despite not being in the best form, Chelsea could really do with Neto being available given Jamie Gittens is out injured.

Gittens suffered a tear in his hamstring against West Ham, and Rosenior admitted his absence is looking long term.

Alejandro Garnacho is currently the only fit left winger the Blues have, although both Estevao and Neto can play there.

It likely means Palmer will play a lot more on the right hand side, with Enzo Fernandez or Joao Pedro playing more as a number ten.
