Rosenior Sets Matchday Fitness Decisions for Arsenal Semi After 5-1 Chelsea Debut

The new Chelsea head coach says Reece James, Cole Palmer and Malo Gusto are being managed and will face late calls, with Moises Caicedo suspended.

Overview

  • Chelsea host Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday in Rosenior’s second game in charge.
  • Rosenior confirmed there were no new injuries after the 5-1 FA Cup win at Charlton and said the trio are not injured but being managed for workload.
  • Midfielder Moises Caicedo will miss the tie through a one-game suspension accrued earlier in the competition.
  • Rosenior said he has been preparing tactically for Arsenal since arriving, praising Mikel Arteta’s side as well drilled and dangerous from set plays.
