Chelsea fans are concerned about Jorrel Hato after he was named in the starting XI for their Premier League clash at Arsenal on Sunday, March 1. Many claim that he will be bullied by Bukayo Saka in the game.
Liam Rosenior has been forced to make changes to his team, but Robert Sanchez remains in goal. Reece James and Trevoh Chalobah are the familiar names in the backline, while it's a Premier League full debut for Mamadou Sarr.
Moises Caicedo and Andrey Santos are in the pivot once again, with Cole Palmer in the free-attacking role. Pedro Neto is on the right wing, with Enzo Fernandez taking the opposite flank.
Joao Pedro leads the attack over Liam Delap, as expected. Chelsea fans have just one concern and that is Hato starting at left-back. Many posted:
Rosenior spoke about Marc Cucurella during his pre-match presser, saying the Spaniard was out but hopes to have him back soon. He said:
"No, Cucu is progressing really, really well. He is not available for Sunday, but hopefully we get him back in as quickly as possible. Levi [Colwill] is doing really, really well with his long-term rehab. At the moment, Dario is back on the training pitch as well which is good. Hopefully, we can get all of these players back in fit for the run-in of the season."
Chelsea are also without Wesley Fofana, after his red card vs Burnley last week.
Chelsea manager heaps praise on Arsenal's Mikel Arteta
Chelsea manager Liam Rosenir heaped praise on Mikel Arteta this week, saying that he has been impressed by the Arsenal manager. He hailed the set up and tactics of the manager and added:
"I have been impressed with him. The support he has received is because, probably day in, day out, they see the great work that he does and they support the process with which he has worked. They are an incredibly well-coached team in every aspect of the game. Whether they press really high, they have compact shape in the low blocks, they are fantastic defensively, obviously set plays, they are well-coached and they play very good football as well."
"They are a very good team and that is why they are in the situation they are in at the moment. It is my job and the players' job to try and find that weakness and try to enjoy what is going to be a really, really big game on Sunday."
Liam Rosenior has lost twice as a Chelsea manager, and both defeats have come at the hands of Arsenal's Mikel Arteta.
