Injury
Chelsea could have fielded a squad full of new signings with Nicolas Jackson, Axel Disasi and Moises Caicedo in the starting lineup and even recent additions like Cole Palmer, Djordje Petrovic and Deivid Washington.
However, although it is easy to attract financial attention, it is impossible not to notice the presence of two goalkeepers on the bench. Besides Petrovic, among Chelsea’s reserve players is Lucas Bergstrom, who has been in the first team throughout the summer.
The chances of the two goalkeepers being called up are slim, although the three will still be with the team even if the two goalkeepers meet on Match Day 20. Pochettino clearly feels there are not many real options left to fill. bench at the moment.
