Liam Rosenior calls up Jesse Derry to first-team training

 Chelsea held training on Monday ahead of the trip to Brighton tomorrow night, which sees Rosenior return to face a side he played more than 50 times for, and then worked as a U23 assistant manager.

According to BBC reporter Nizaar Kinsella, 18-year-old Jesse Derry was in senior training on Monday. Derry has made his first-team debut under Rosenior and could now be in with a shout of playing.

Derry is yet to play in the Premier League, or even be a part of the matchday squad. Kinsella posted on X, following Monday’s press conference: “Jesse Derry was training with Chelsea’s first team squad today.”

With Estevao sidelined and Pedro a doubt, Rosenior will have some decisions to make when it comes to picking his starting XI. He is forced into a change out wide, and it could see Alejandro Garnacho start.

Palmer has improved since playing in the 10, after a stint on the right flank under Rosenior. Pedro Neto was one of Chelsea’s best players against Man United, and Garnacho is now likely to start on Tuesday.

Liam Delap struggled on Saturday even if he did almost score only his second Premier League goal, and Rosenior will be keen to start Pedro even if not fully it. There may also be changes at centre-back.

Wesley Fofana was spotted walking off the pitch at full-time angrily, and Rosenior may decide a change is needed. Fernandez’s fitness is a positive, and he is likely to partner Moises Caicedo in central midfield.

 The Chelsea players trained at Cobham on Friday morning in the last session prior to this weekend’s huge Premier League fixture against Manchester United.

The Blues go into the game at Stamford Bridge knowing three points will keep us right in the hunt for a Champions League place, and the squad worked hard at our training base to ensure they are in the best possible position to achieve a precious victory.

Trevoh Chalobah was among those on the grass, with Liam Rosenior saying in his pre-match media conference the defender was ‘very, very close’ to a return to action after injury.

Also pictured being put through his paces was Moises Caicedo, who, it was announced today, has signed a new contract with the club until 2033.
