Hoping to see Enzo, Mudryk and Madueke all play tbh. Enzo will be so much more dangerous with the acceleration / pace of the other two, and Havertz will become a lot more dangerous as well imo (he presumably has to play too given we still don't have a striker and Felix is out)

What's the dealio with our injuries - James, Chilly, Kante?

People been saying this for almost 2.5 years now - wouldn’t get your hopes up. Would assume he will be sold in the summer barring some sort of evolution into a half decent footballer. And people can’t say it won’t have been coming, if TB & co are looking to clear out underachievers then he is probably someone who is near the top of the list.

Potter better not play the same players who have let us down for the most of this season, Kk and Mount for a start, I would include Havertz in that but there is no one else unless he gives Forfana a chance

Hoping DDF will make the bench again, at least. The lad has quality, it's just a question of how it stacks up at this higher level. If it does stack up then the bigger question will be whether he can overcome the major doubt expressed about him; his supposed selfishness.

Reece and Chilwell available but not for 90 minutes according to GP

Just don't rush them back ffs! From the moment the Foo Fighters doctors give the green light, GP should not play them for another month or so just in case.

Enzo apparently may not have his work permit situation handled in time to play tomorrow. That would mean a pretty dire looking midfield in terms of defensive solidity.

A Gallagher + RLC or Gallagher + Carney midfield paring doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence.

تويتر \ CFC-Blues على تويتر: "#OnThisDay in 2003 Ken Bates agreed to sell  Chelsea Football club to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. The rest as  you all know, is history 🏆🔵 #CFC https://t.co/IxZBGz4Oc6"

Wed 2 Jul 2003 02.19 BST
 
In a surprise move last night Chelsea football club was sold to a 36-year-old Russian oil billionaire after intense and secret negotiations, in a deal worth £140m.

Ken Bates, the club's chairman, struck the deal with Roman Abramovich, who is also an influential politician, and has deep pockets. According to Forbes magazine he is Russia's second richest man with a fortune of $5.7bn (£3.4bn) and a wide range of business interests, including the Russian airline Aeroflot.

His deal to buy Chelsea Village, the overall owner, values the Premiership club at £60m. It follows months of speculation that Mr Bates had been looking for a financial injection for the loss-making club, with debts thought to be in the region of £80m. In the six months to the end of December, Chelsea Village lost £11m on a turnover of £53m.

Mr Bates, who owns at least 29% of Chelsea Village, is staying as chairman as part of the deal and insisted last night that it would be good for the club. "We have achieved an enormous amount over the past 21 years, building a fantastic new stadium and a talented team which is firmly established as one of the top clubs in Europe. In today's highly competitive football market, the club will benefit from a new owner with deeper pockets to move Chelsea to the next level," he said.

Mr Abramovich is a keen sports fan but not a particular Chelsea supporter. He decided to approach Chelsea after running the rule over a number of English clubs, including Manchester United, which has itself been the subject of takeover rumours. Last night he said he was "delighted" with his deal, which will stun football fans. "We have the resources and ambition to achieve even more given the huge potential of this great club," he said.

He is a major shareholder in Sibneft, one of Russia's largest oil firms which is conducting a merger that will turn it into the world's fourth largest oil company. He is offering to pay Chelsea Village shareholders 35p a share, which is 15% above the closing value of the shares last night at 30.5p. The stock market was closed when the deal was announced.

He has bought almost 85 million shares and has the support of shareholders controlling 50.09%. His offer will be extended to the rest of the shareholders when the stock market opens this morning.

Mr Bates, a high-profile figure in English football, has transformed Chelsea since buying it for £1 in 1982. He has turned it into a business empire centred on its west London ground but built up debts in building a hotel, restaurant and leisure facilities. Chelsea's ownership structure has always caused controversy because of stakes held by unusual offshore companies.
