Chelsea XI vs Everton: Confirmed Team News, Predicted Lineup, and Injury Updates
Key Match Amidst Extensive Injury Concerns
Chelsea's extensive injury list continues to grow ahead of their crucial Premier League match against Everton. Several key players remain sidelined, leaving manager Graham Potter with some difficult selection dilemmas.
Predicted Lineup and Goalkeeper Dilemma
Despite a recent dip in form, Dorde Petrovic is expected to start in goal once again, having replaced Robert Sanchez as the preferred option. The Serbian shot-stopper has faced criticism for his performances in recent weeks but is likely to be given another opportunity to prove his worth.
Injury Woes Mount for Chelsea
Axel Disasi and Enzo Fernandez have become the latest additions to Chelsea's growing injury list. Disasi has been struggling with a thigh problem, while Fernandez picked up a knock in training. Both players are expected to miss the Everton game.
Other Injuries and Team News
Chelsea will also be without Kepa Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Benoît Badiashile, Reece James, Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, Joao Felix, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic, N'Golo Kante, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek due to various injuries. The Blues will be hoping to avoid any further setbacks in their bid to secure a top-four finish. A win against Everton is crucial for their aspirations of Champions League qualification.
