Moyes Chelsea presser in the way

|

By Hughie Southon

David Moyes is due to give his presser ahead of the Chelsea game later this morning or early afternoon and we will bring you any relevant news as soon as we receive it.

The manager has been a little more forthcoming over the last few weeks but we expect him to confirm that injured trio Max Cornet, Gianluca Scamacca and Kurt Zouma will be involved although of course fingers are crossed that may not be the case.

Thilo Kehrer is also on the list of possible absentees although there have been conflicting reports on his situation with some reports claiming he trained yesterday.

CandH has been told that he could be out for two to three weeks and it seems unlikely that one day in training would be sufficient to see him back in such a critical game.

Should he be absent it seems the alternative is to play Ben Johnson in the middle alongside the hugely impressive Nayef Aguerd.

We will bring you the news on such issues once we receive it.
