Three things spotted in Chelsea training ahead of Brentford clash as Armando Broja returns
Chelsea are stepping up their preparations ahead of their Premier League clash against Brentford this weekend. The Blues picked up a 2-2 draw against Arsenal last weekend despite leading their London rivals 2-0 for most of the game.
Cole Palmer converted from the penalty spot before Mykhailo Mudryk added a second with a looping effort that lobbed David Raya. An error from Robert Sanchez allowed Declan Rice to pull one back before Leandro Trossard equalised for the visitors with the points being shared at Stamford Bridge.
Reece James made his return from injury against Arsenal — coming on as a second half substitute and the Chelsea captain could be set to start against Brentford. Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez were exceptional against the Gunners but Pochettino revealed after the game that neither midfielder were 100% fit after their late return from South America.
As the Blues now look to continue their unbeaten run in the Premier League, football.london has spotted a few things that will interest supporters from Chelsea training...
Armando Broja was left out of the matchday squad against Arsenal after picking up a knock in training. The Albanian striker has since returned to first team training and is now in contention to face Brentford.
Broja scored on his return to action in the 2-0 win against Fulham before struggling to make an impact against Burnley prior to the international break. Pochettino resorted to playing Cole Palmer in a false-nine role against the Gunners and now Broja and Nicolas Jackson face a difficult task of forcing their way back into the starting XI.
