Since Chelsea doesn’t play until Monday night, we have a few extra days this weekend to prepare for this crucial matchup with Tottenham Hotspur. Additionally, those extra days can be useful for players whose fitness levels are uncertain coming into the weekend.

The most important of them is club captain Reece James, who made his debut on Wednesday and played for almost an hour as we gradually increase his workload following yet another lengthy ιnjury. Thankfully, Reecey has passed this stage without incident. That doesn’t imply he will start the next game, but he has a greater chance of doing so on Monday compared to, sаy, a Saturday.

ot to play with him. As our captain, he is a crucial member of the team. We must now evaluate him to see whether or not he is prepared to begin work on Monday.

If James is merely on the bench, Armando Broja and Mykhalio Mudryk may also be there. Pochettino gave the former a surprise promotion, while the official website reported on Friday that Mudryk had returned to “full training.”

We spoke today, and it’s possible that [Broja] will be available to start on the bench on Monday. He is hoping to participate in today’s workout.

With Nicolas Jackson’s recent setbacks, Broja might have a fantastic chance to establish himself as a starter. In addition, if Mudryk is available, we might very easily use the same lineup that we used against Arsenal—Cole Palmer as a false nine, Conor Gallagher in the middle, and Raheem Sterling and Mudryk running the flanks.
