Chelsea vs AC Milan team news

Chelsea will be without in Levi Colwill after he suffered up an ACL injury in training last week.

Heavy rotation is expected, given the Blues were in action against Bayer Leverkusen less than 48 hours ago.

Robert Sanchez is set to start in goal after Filip Jorgensen played 90 minutes against Leverkusen.

Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, and Trevoh Chalobah were all withdrawn at half-time on Friday.

Despite dazzling against Leverkusen, Estevao will most likely be on the bench as Maresca looks to temper expectations for the youngster.

Aaron Anselmino, Genesis Antwi, and Samuel Rak-Sakyi were brought on together with 15 minutes left to play on Friday, and could be in line for a more significant test. The same is true of Jamie Gittens, Reece James, and Pedro Neto.

Former Chelsea players Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Christian Pulisic could all feature for AC Milan.

Chelsea vs AC Milan prediction

Many of those at Stamford Bridge on Friday will have been surprised to see Chelsea so lively as they returned to the pitch after just a few weeks of holiday.

While maybe not at their best, the Blues were very impressive, and ran rings around a much-changed Bayer Leverkusen outfit.

AC Milan are a similarly transitional team at the moment, and may struggle to match the world champions’ vigour.

Maresca will name a heavily rotated side, but this is a squad built with rotation in mind - its second-choice XI is still worth hundreds of millions.

The Blues should have no problem.
