Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca don calm everybody mind about Reece James fitness before Tuesday Champions League clash wey go happen for Stamford Bridge against Barcelona.
The England international comot for pitch for half time during Saturday 2-0 Premier League win for Burnley, wey make fans fear say another wahala don show for the injury-plagued defender.
But Maresca talk say, as full time reach, James early comot na pre-planned move, so the Blues skipper go dey ready to lead Club World Cup winners out against Blaugrana midweek.
Wesley Fofana fit no play as e remain doubt because dem leave am out squad to face Burnley for protection, while Mykhaylo Mudryk (doping ban), Romeo Lavia (thigh), Cole Palmer (groin/toe), Dario Essugo (thigh) and Levi Colwill (knee) all go miss action.
James early substitution mean say right-back spot go still dey im hand over Malo Gusto on Tuesday, and same thing fit happen for Tosin Adarabioyo over Fofana after the Englishman performance wey sweet for Turf Moor.
Andrey Santos carry man of the match for Saturday, but fresh Moises Caicedo go join Enzo Fernandez for the £200m engine room, unless dem tell Fernandez make e play further front. That kain move no too likely as Maresca go give Joao Pedro number 10 duties again, while Liam Delap go remain for front attack.
Pedro Neto wey dey form well now – wey don get five goal involvements from im last five Premier League games – go dey start for wide position, while Alejandro Garnacho go replace Jamie Gittens even though the Englishman deliver fine assist for Saturday.
Chelsea Possible Starting Lineup:
Sanchez; James, Adarabioyo, Chalobah, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Pedro, Garnacho; Delap
