🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Joao [Felix] is back, you saw Joao [against Shamrock Rovers], but Romeo [Lavia] will probably struggle to play on Sunday. But we will see tomorrow [Friday].

🤕 𝐎𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲:

“Both are still out and will still be out for a long period.”

📈 𝐎𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬:

“Reece will start with us for part of the session. So slowly, slowly is moving forward. That doesn’t mean he will be with us on Sunday or next Sunday.

“Tomorrow [today], part of the session will be with him managed then it’s building the right condition for him.”

😤𝐎𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐧, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤:

“No, it’s something that I didn’t know, to be honest.

“Hopefully we can go there and beat them. For sure, it will be a tough game, but we’re going to try to prepare for the game in the best way we can.

“The target is always the same: prepare the game to win the game and then we see. Everton’s stadium is not tough only for Chelsea. It’s tough for any club.”

𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Chelsea Academy defender Olutayo Subuloye has signed his first professional contract with the club, shortly after celebrating his 17th birthday. ✍️

The centre-back has progressed through the age groups since joining the Blues from Brighton & Hove Albion at Under-12s level.

In a successful 2023/24 campaign, he lifted the Under-16 Premier League National Tournament trophy and played a key role in the Under-17 Premier League Cup triumph, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 in the final at Molineux.

Subuloye is experiencing his first full season with the Under-18s in 2024/25 and scored his first goal at that level in September’s 6-2 home win over Aston Villa, whilst netting in the most recent game against Crystal Palace. His performances for Chelsea earned him a call-up to represent England Under-18s in October.

Congratulations! 🥳👏
