Chelsea train ahead of Qarabag: Player carrying a knock spotted and Estevao on for start | OneFootball

Estevao Willian is set for another start in the Champions League for Chelsea later this week when they face Qarabag.

The Blues played this opposition last year on their way to winning The Conference League trophy, and it was a pretty easy fixture for them as most games were in that competition.

EXCLUSIVE! When Cole Palmer is expected to return to the Chelsea squad – plans laid out!

But now they face each other in Europe’s most elite trophy, and Chelsea will be looking to continue their winning ways in this competition after beating Ajax with ease in their last fixture.

Qarabag do have the potential to be a bit of a banana skin game for Chelsea, but I don’t foresee any real issues in this one and Enzo Maresca’s side should have enough to do the job, whoever he starts with.

Pedro trained

Joao Pedro had been carrying a knock in recent weeks and was also a bit fatigued, but he was pictured in full training yesterday with the rest of the group, as you can see below…

Others involved

You will see Estevao below, as well as the likes of Andrey Santos, Moises Caicedo, and more…

There was also other players like Josh Acheampong, Jamie Gittens, and Marc Guiu who might be hoping for a start on Wednesday night and were in training yesterday too.
