Carabao League: Chelsea may opt for players vs Brentford

After their goalless draw vs Wolves over the weekend, Chelsea will return to action on Wednesday night when they face Brentford in the Carabao League.

Brentford have had Covid-19 cases in their squad and have not played for more than a week now; however, they are likely to return to action on Wednesday night.

The same has been the case with Chelsea, who have seen many of their key players test positive for the Covid-19 virus; however, unlike Brentford, the Blues have played every of their games even when they wrote to the authorities to postpone their matches.

With N’Golo Kante, Matteo Kovacic, and some other key players not fully fit yet, Chelsea may opt for many of their youth players when they face Brentford.

This comes as many of Chelsea youngsters were spotted during training alongside a few older players, like Ross Barkley, Jorginho, and Malang Sarr.

The youngsters present reportedly include goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe, defender Xavier Mbuyamba, midfielders Lewis Baker and Harvey Vale, and forward Bryan Fiabema.

A few lesser-known youngsters joining them include defenders Josh Brooking and Alfie Gilchrist; Joe Haigh and Xavier Simons midfielders; Dion Rankine (wing-back), Jay Wareham (striker) and Lewis Hall.
