Chelsea XI vs FC Noah: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup, injury latest for Conference League | OneFootball

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

Enzo Maresca will again ring the changes in the Conference League 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 will not be 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.

Benoit Badiashile will start at centre-back for Chelsea, and Maresca has revealed he plans to include academy duo Tyrique George and Samuel Rak-Sakyi in his squad for the game.

Chelsea predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Veiga, Disasi, Badiashile, Cucurella; Enzo, Dewsbury-Hall; George, Felix, Mudryk; Nkunku

Injured: Kellyman, Sancho
