👀 Former Man Utd chief scout Mick Brown on Mudryk: 🗣️ "I hear they’re keen to move him on in January. I think they’ve got the makings of a very good team at Chelsea, but he isn’t likely to be a part of that. There isn’t space for him in the team at the moment and I don’t think Maresca has been particularly impressed by him so far."

💬‼️JOSH ACHEAMPONG IS NO LONGER FROZEN OUT. HE’S IN 1ST TEAM TRAINING. James, Gusto and Disasi are all not training as well.💙🗯 🚨Tyrique George, Kiano Dyer, Shim Mheuka, Sam Rak-Sakyi, Zain Silcott-Duberry and Zak Sturge are all training with the 1st team ahead of the Conference League game. 💫

Chelsea are in talks over a fee for 15 year old sensation Mathis Eboue, who has already played and scored at U21 level. (@kierangill_DM) 🗯He is the son of Emmanuel Eboué♦️

🗣️ Graeme Bailey: “Guehi is someone Chelsea like, he’s high up on the list. He’ll have a year left on his deal next summer. He’s one to keep an eye on for sure, we know Chelsea like him, and Chelsea do want to upgrade the options behind Fofana and Colwill.”🗯 🗣 Graeme Bailey on Dewsbury-Hall: "Maresca knew about him and knew he was a quality player. It was a very strange deal. I don’t think he’s going to be at Chelsea at the start of next season. It is what it is."🗯

❗️❗️Next summer, plans are being formulated to delve into the transfer market to further improve the squad. Most of the work has been done, and there will be no overhaul like the last few windows, but they will keep tweaking.🗯 via@SamCunningham

Maresca: “The ones who are going to play against Leicester aren’t going to be 100% because they are human beings but hopefully we can find the right balance” Enzo Maresca when asked about playing Palmer and Felix together: 🗣️ "This could be a target for the future to see both of them to play together."

When Romeo Lavia was replaced by Enzo Fernandez, he headed straight to the tunnel. There was noticeable concern, as Lavia had been struggling before the change. The medical team will likely monitor his condition during the international break. (@iamrahmanosman)

Christopher Nkunku is considering his future at Chelsea. Chelsea are understood to be willing to offers only if they can recoup his £52m transfer fee in full. (@JBurtTelegraph @TeleFootball)

Enzo Maresca on Madueke’s angry reaction after being subbed: 🗣️ "The problem is when you change a player, they are never happy. Probably the only way to be happy is after a hat trick, but it's not only about Noni, it's about the players as they want to be there through to the end. At that moment [in the match] we saw a different way. We thought Pedro [Neto] with [Jurrien] Timber could be more aggressive -- so it was a tactical decision." via@ESPNFC

Manchester United have enquired about Christopher Nkunku, who had no intention of joining Chelsea last year to feature in Europe’s third-best competition and play second-fiddle in the Premier League. [@lequipe via @GFFN] 💬With Christopher Vivell now at Manchester United, I'm not surprised by this rumor. Vivell has already brought Nkunku to Chelsea FC and thanks to him he is now a Blue.🗯

Enzo Maresca: "I said already that I'm in love with Wes [Fofana]. He spent all of last season injured and came back in the way he is fighting every day. He probably has to play until the end of his career with pain. You have to be strong, and he is like this.

Madueke not looking too pleased as he makes way for Mudryk. Neto on the right now. Edit... In fact, he walked straight down the tunnel.
