Football in the Premier League is back this week, and Enzo Maresca is getting his team ready for what might be one of the biggest challenges of the year. With Arne Slot’s squad presently atop the table, Chelsea will play Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. After accumulating 14 points from their first seven games, Chelsea has enjoyed a successful start to the season and is currently ranked fourth. After the league’s first-round loss to Manchester City, the Blues have not lost.
But as Chelsea prepares to visit league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, maybe their most difficult away game of the season, they face a tremendous test. During the first half of Denmark’s under-21 match versus Iceland, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen of Chelsea was substituted due to an injury.
Chelsea injury updates ahead of Liverpool clash
Before the game later this week, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will provide an update on Jorgensen and the rest of his team. Fridays are when he normally addresses the media. Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella are already out for Sunday’s trip to Anfield due to suspensions, but it’s unclear if the Denmark youth international will be joining them on the sidelines. Reece James is still not fully recovered.
Captain Reece James has made significant progress in his recuperation from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since the beginning of the season, giving Chelsea an injury boost ahead of their match against Liverpool.
