Sancho not in the squad as Blues bid to reach Carabao Cup quarter-finals
Jadon Sancho is not in the Chelsea squad for their Carabao Cup tie at Newcastle.
Enzo Maresca has made 11 changes at St James’ Park but there is no place for Sancho in the side or among the substitutes.
Sancho did not feature at the weekend, did not start in the Conference League last week and cannot play against Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday as part of the terms of his loan deal.
The trip to St James Park is the Blues’ second meeting with Newcastle in three days, after their 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Enzo Fernandez captains the team in the north east, with Filip Jorgensen in goal.
It looks like a three-man midfield including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Chelsea have just one player out injured, with Omari Kellyman out with a long-term hamstring injury.
Cole Palmer is on the bench.
Confirmed Chelsea XI: Jorgensen, Disasi, Badiashile, Tosin, Veiga, Cucurella, Fernandez, Dewsbury-Hall, Mudryk, Nkunku, Joao Felix
Subs: Bergstrom, Bettinelli, Colwill, Chilwell, Casadei, Chukwumeka, Madueke, Palmer, Guiu
Time and date: 7:45pm GMT tonight on Wednesday October 29, 2024
Venue: St James’ Park
