Chelsea XI vs FC Noah: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Conference League today | OneFootball

Academy duo Tyrique George and Samuel Rak-Sakyi join the squad

Enzo Maresca has once again rung the changes in the Conference League tonight as Chelsea welcome FC Noah to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are expected to win handsomely against the side who are currently fourth in the Armenian Premier League.

Maresca is not able to call on unregistered quartet Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Ben Chilwell or the injured Cole Palmer, while Jadon Sancho will miss the match through injury. The loanee has been unavailable with an illness but, Maresca revealed on Wednesday, has now suffered a knock.

“He’s recovering from that,” the Blues head coach said about Sancho’s illness. “He had a knock in the [training] session, also. For tomorrow, for sure, he’s out. We’ll see if he’s available for Sunday's game. Otherwise, it will be after the international break.

“The rest are all available. Probably we are going to make changes tomorrow, too.”

Benoit Badiashile starts at centre-back for Chelsea, while Maresca has handed academy star Tyrique George a start.

Marc Guiu leads the line, with Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku in deeper roles in an incredibly attacking lineup.

Chelsea XI: Jorgensen, Disasi, Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Veiga, Fernandez, Felix, Mudryk, Nkunku, George, Guiu

Subs: Sanchez, Merrick, Cucurella, Madueke, Chukwuemeka, Dewsbury-Hall, Gusto, Casadei, Rak-Sakyi

Time and date: 8pm GMT, Thursday, November 7, 2024

Venue: Stamford Bridge
