Chelsea midfielder, Jorginho is a big injury doubt heading into their UEFA Champions League clash against Italian heavyweights, AC Milan at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday....CONTINUE READING
The 30-year-old was forced off with a knock in Saturday’s Premier League match against Patrick Vieira’s Palace at Selhurst Park, which they won late courtesy a long range stunner from Conor Gallagher to get the Graham Potter era on track.
The Italian midfielder isn’t the only doubt for the West Londoners, The likes of Edouard Mendy, Ngolo Kante, Carney Chukwuemeka & Marc Cucurella are all unlikely to be unavailable due to one injury problem or the other.
Graham Potter could revert to a four man defence against the Serie A outfit, with Kepa Arrizabalaga set for another start alongside Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana operating in the heart of defence.
While Kalidou Koulibaly on the other hand could be considered for a start here if the English tactician feels Sliva needs rest, but the chances of that happening is slim, Reece James & Ben Chilwell are expected to be given the freedom to bomb forward from the left & right side of defence.
If Jorginho doesn’t pass a late fitness test, Conor Gallagher who had a brillant cameo performance on Saturday, will replace the veteran midfielder in the centre of the park & link up with Mateo Kovacic & Mason Mount.
The front three of Kai Havertz, Raheem Sterling & Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will get another chance to impress
