Liam Rosenior Details Chelsea Absences After Arsenal Defeat

After Chelsea’s 3-2 Carabao Cup SF first-leg loss to Arsenal, Rosenior said “we had a lot of illness, injury.” Palmer, James and Gusto failed late tests; Caicedo was suspended; Delap and Gittens missed out sick. On Palmer: “a minor strain… I can’t afford to lose Cole Palmer for six weeks.” James has “a big knock,” but “hopefully he will be back for Saturday.”
