Brentford FC vs Chelsea FC Team News
Under the leadership of new head coach Keith Andrews, Brentford exceeded expectations last year by achieving their highest league finish since World War II, securing 9th place. Over the summer, the team has strategically strengthened its squad. Notably, they have acquired midfielder Mamadou Sangaré, a club-record signing who has made an immediate impact by seamlessly filling the role vacated by Jordan Henderson following his transfer to Chelsea.
While Brentford has scored a modest total of seven goals, the dynamic Kevin Schade has contributed nearly half of them, with three goals to his name. He remains a formidable threat, as demonstrated by his goal against Chelsea last season. Coach Andrews currently faces no new injury concerns; however, he will be without the services of Mathias Jensen, Joshua Dasilva, Antoni Milambo, Nathan Collins, Sepp van den Berg, and Kaye Furo.
Chelsea have a fair share of injury concerns, including latest additions Joao Pedro and Reece James. The likes of Moisés Caicedo, Marco Palestra and Emmanuel Emegha also remain highly doubtful. Hence, Xabi Alonso faces a tricky task to improvise the mid-field.
