Chelsea head to the London Stadium for their first away match of the Premier League season. Enzo Maresca said Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana are available for the trip, while Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile remain sidelined. Nicolas Jackson is suspended for the opener against Crystal Palace and Christopher Nkunku will not travel with the squad to East London.
Maresca added that Aaron Anselmino is training with the group and waiting for a loan opportunity to gain game time. The club is weighing options for the academy defender as part of managing a busy schedule and a lean squad.
