Absolutely - players coming back from long term injuries who shouldnt be rushed (Broja, Badiashile), players out for another few weeks/months (Chukwu/Nkunku), Jackson gone for the AFCON + guys who would not expect a lot of minutes anyway (Washington, Ugo maybe) + your daily Chelsea injuries. So 24 field players isnt too much atm.
Tbh if Maatsen doesnt sign an extension I would send him to U21.
