As Chelsea prepares to face Manchester City in their pre-season clash, there are several key updates regarding the squad.
New signing Jorgensen could make his full debut for Chelsea today after making a notable impression as a half-time substitute in their previous match against Club America, according to a report by Sports Mole. The manager is expected to utilize Jorgensen's versatility in the upcoming game.
Enzo Fernandez, who recently returned to the squad, made a brief appearance off the bench on Wednesday. It is anticipated that he will again be used as a substitute in today's fixture, providing additional depth and creativity from the midfield.
There are set to be several adjustments to the starting lineup. Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana are likely to be introduced into the defensive unit, adding experience and stability to the backline. Despite these changes, Guiu is expected to retain his position at the forefront of the attack. The summer recruit will be aiming to showcase his abilities and secure his place in the squad for the upcoming season, potentially warding off any discussions about a loan move.
