Closed Werder Bremen v Chelsea

[Special Juan 27,093]

Delighted to see Tibo.

where's Romeu???? he's got injury?

“One will go from the squad that we have now – but I have yet to decide who. But it won’t be a senior player,” Mourinho said.

I think it's Romeu he's mentioning.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Really weird to see only 6 youngsters involved now, including a 16 year old in Solanke.

Means the Premier League is getting closer!

[Special Juan 27,093]

Two strikers? Cavani is coming!

Hopefully.

[romeeh 139]

Cahill for Zouma

Hazard for Salah

Schurrle for Torres

That could well be our team vs. Burnley.

what u mean?!

[Alee. 182]

Not sure if this is a 4-4-2. I think it's our old formation with Torres on the wing surely. Not going with two strikers, just trying to get some bloody use of out Torres.

where's Romeu???? he's got injury?

it signs he might be go loan...

[MichaelDance 552]

who u expect to score the 5 goals today?

Costa x2 Salah x1 Matic x 1 Fabregas x1 probably lol if the line up is:

Chelsea team to play Werder Bremen: Courtois, Azpi, Zouma, Terry ©, Luis, Van Ginkel, Matic, Salah, Fabregas, Torres, Costa. #CFC

Subs: Cech, Ivanovic, Ake, Hazard, Mikel, DROGBA, Cahill, Chalobah, Baker, Christensen, Boga, Solanke. #CFC

He is turning 23 in a few weeks. Why don't we just sell him?

[romeeh 139]

[1chelsea 864]

Is this on supper sport??

[Madmax 9,219]

Chelsea twitter says Courtois first 45, Cech the other. Mikel, Hazard, Drogba all expected to start the 2nd half.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Wouldn't read anything into us playing 2 strikers. Hazard just joined the team, and we still have 3 AM's not here yet.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Not sure how I feel about seeing Cesc as the #10 again if this is a 4-2-3-1. I want to see him get as many minutes deeper in midfield as he can in preparation for the season.

Yeah, I would have preferred him to get as many minutes as possible deeper in midfield too, but with our current players, it's not that unexpected. Jose made it clear that Cesc will play both #10 and #8 this season, so it sort of makes sense for him to get some practice there while our other #10s aren't here. When the Brazilians are back, Cesc will obviously play #8. And maybe Jose also wants to give MVG as many minutes as possible while he can.

Expected to see Torres to score and the meltdown today.

As well as Petr Cech, Hazard, Mikel and Drogba are all expected to play the second half. #CFC
