Chelsea XI vs Leeds: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for FA Cup
Share this
Chelsea won’t have Christopher Nkunku playing against Leeds in the FA Cup because he’s injured. This is his third injury this season. It’s bad timing because the game is important for Chelsea after they lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.
Nkunku is joining a list of injured players including Thiago Silva, Reece James, Marc Cucurella, and others. Chelsea’s coach, Mauricio Pochettino, doesn’t have many options to change the team after they played a long match at Wembley Stadium.
They might keep the same lineup despite the injuries, hoping to win this game and qualify for Europe. Djordje Petrovic, the goalkeeper, might keep playing. In midfield, they have limited options.
The team might stay the same, with Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Raheem Sterling leading the attack. This match is their last chance for a trophy this season.
Chelsea’s possible lineup (4-3-3): Petrovic; Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Chilwell; Fernandez, Gallagher, Caicedo; Palmer, Jackson, Sterling
Injuries: Nkunku, Silva, James, Cucurella, and others
Date and Time: Sunday, February 28, 2024, at 7:30 PM GMT
Venue: Stamford Bridge
