Chelsea vs Arsenal Confirmed Lineups for March 1
Chelsea Team News
According to SofaScore, Liam Rosenior has a real issue on his hands with eight different players unavailable, hurting their depth across the pitch. The newest one is Wesley Fofana who is serving a suspension for being sent off against the Clarets, this leaves them with one less senior centre-back option.
Mykhailo Mudryk is also suspended and has been for some time now. Dario Essugo and Filip Jorgensen could feature having had small issues, the manager didn’t provide any updates on their status in the build up to this one.
The main issues are the long-term absence of Levi Colwill, Jamie Gittens, and the new injuries to key names Marc Cucurella and Estevao, the Spaniard and Brazilian have been some of the better players in the campaign so far and their absences will leave the Blues short of options.
On a positive note, Reece James has publicly been deemed fine for this one after being taken off against Burnley.
