The Premier League Summer Series returns with another set of matches as Chelsea lock horns with Fulham at the FedExField.
The Premier League Summer Series returns with another set of matches as Chelsea lock horns with Fulham in an interesting match at the FedExField on Sunday. Mauricio Pochettino’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle United during their most recent showdown. While the Cottagers were sunk 2-0 by Aston Villa.
Talking about team news, Chelsea came through their recent draw with Newcastle without any fresh injury concerns to worry about. Thiago Silva and Levi Colwill also missed the last game with the Magpies as precautions. While Angelo Gabriel and Lewis Hall did not earn any minutes either. Nevertheless, the quartet should all have a strong chance of being involved. The Blues have now officially waved goodbye to Marseille-bound Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. While Romelu Lukaku and Callum Hudson-Odoi could be the next out of the door. But Pochettino is not missing that selection of out-of-favour attackers too much. Nkunku and Jackson will also prepare to start in another formidable attacking line.
Speaking of recently-signed attackers, Fulham’s new number nine Jimenez is in line to make his debut for the Cottagers at FedEx Field. While Mitrovic continues to try to force a move through to Saudi Arabian powerhouses Al-Hilal. Mitrovic is reported to be training alone as Jimenez prepares to battle Carlos Vinicius for a starting berth. However, tough-tackling midfielder Joao Palhinha could be facing a spell on the treatment table due to a shoulder injury. Tim Ream (arm) and Andreas Pereira (ankle) are also on the long-term injury list. While Tosin Adarabioyo and Antonee Robinson are also doubtful to start for Fulham.
