Chelsea vs Noah FC injury news - two players out with two doubts ahead of clash

Chelsea turn their attention away from the Premier League this week as they face their third game in the Europa Conference League at Stamford Bridge against Armenian side FC Noah on Thursday 7 November.

The Blues come off the back of a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the Premier League which put them in fourth in the league - seven points away from league leaders Liverpool who beat Brighton 2-1 at the weekend.

Enzo Maresca’s side have had a great start to their Europa Conference League campaign with a 4-2 win against Gent and a 4-1 win over Greek side Panathinaikos in their latest game in the competition. They face an FC Noah side that has won one and lost one in the competition so far.

Chelsea have had a relatively fit squad in recent weeks, but going into the midweek clash they do have a couple of injury concerns.

Chelsea injury news

The Blues have two casualties as things stand with one player in doubt to miss the game against FC Noah and one player that is set to miss the game.

Jadon Sancho missed the game against United as he couldn’t play against his parent club, but the winger has also picked up an illness which means he would have missed the game either way. He is a doubt for Thursday night’s game as Enzo Maresca said: “They are all available apart from Jadon. He has been ill in the last few days.” The winger is expecting to play on Thursday.

Finally, youngster Omari Kellyman remains out with a hamstring injury that he suffered last season when he was still at Aston Villa before his move to Stamford Bridge during the transfer window. Cole Palmer is also an injury concern from the Blues, but given that he is not in the Blues’ Europa Conference League squad, it is of no significance to Thursday’s match.

FC Noah injury news

The Armenian side have just two players on their injury list with one out and one in doubt for their trip to London on Thursday. Firstly, midfielder Martin Gambos is out with a Cruciate ligament tear that he suffered at the end of September, he is expected to be out for a long period of time.

Meanwhile, left-back Gudmundur Thorarinsson is a doubt for the game with an unknown injury that has so far kept him on the side-lines for three matches since October 25th.
