Enzo Maresca ahead of Morecambe [H] in the FA Cup third round:
๐ On team news:
โYes Reece [James] and Romeo [Lavia] are both available
and hopefully they can get some minutes for tomorrowโs game.
โThe rest are all available for selection other than those that were already injured from before. Benoit Badiashile and Wesley [Fofana] are out and Keirnan [Dewsbury-
Hall] is still injured, so he wonโt be involved.โ
๐ค Whether Aaron Anselmino could feature after he was recently recalled from his loan at Boca Juniors:
โNo, we wonโt see Aaron [against Morecambe].
โItโs still too early for him and the plan is to get him into condition to get him some minutes in the future, but not now.
โHe had some injuries while with Boca and we will give him time to settle in here. To get used to English football, English weather and from there, we will look to use him.โ
๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ Whether Ben Chilwell and Cesare Casadei will feature:
โChilwell, for him, I think in this moment is thinking he is probably going to leave, so it is probably better to avoid using him to avoid that kind of situation, an injury or this kind of things. So the plan is not to use Ben tomorrow.
โYes, Cesare will not be in the squad. It is more or less the same situation as Ben Chilwell. For him, probably in this moment, the idea is not to allow him to play some minutes in case there is any opportunity for him to go and play. At this moment, this is the best thing for him.โ
๐ On the FA Cup:
โThe FA Cup is very important.
โItโs another competition and as Iโve said since the start, we want to do well in every competition - whether thatโs the Premier League, the Conference League, the Carabao Cup or the FA Cup.
โTomorrowโs game against Morecambe is no different, we go to win like we do every match. Itโs an important competition because it has so much history and culture attached to it.
โWe are prepared for the game and I know a lot about Morecambe now because weโve watched many of their videos to be ready for tomorrow.โ

๐๐๐๐๐: Alex Matos has joined Championship side Oxford United on loan until the end of the season. ๐ค
Matos joined the Blues from Norwich City in the summer of 2023 and made his first-team debut as a substitute against Fulham the following October.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Hudderstield Town, where he made 20 appearances, and returns to the English second tier to continue his development.
Good luck, @alexmatos.93! ๐ช

Coventry have expressed interest in loaning 19-year-old midfielder Samuel Rak-Sakyi from Chelsea.
The midfielder has featured in four games in the Europa Conference league this season.
A loan move would see him link up with former Chelsea player Frank Lampard.
However, he is set to feature for Chelsea in the FA Cup third round tie at home to Morecambe, so a move will not happen yet.

@Juventus have made signing a defender a priority this January and like Chelseaโs Axel Disasi.
Chelsea are open to the possibility of a loan with an obligation to buy linked to the number of appearances.
The Bianconeri evaluate Disasi as the possible second defender they want to sign.
