Chelsea XI vs Nott'm Forest: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

Reece James and Levi Colwill are back in training, and McFarlane could make a late squad decision as Chelsea manage several selection calls.

  • On Friday, Interim Head Coach McFarlane confirmed Reece James and Levi Colwill have returned to training, with both potentially available for Monday's match against Forest at Stamford Bridge.
  • England head coach Thomas Tuchel hopes James returns to form for this summer's World Cup in North America, as Chelsea has failed to claim a point or score a league goal during his absence.
  • Colwill has missed the entire season following an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in pre-season training, though he has recently been featuring for the Under-21s to regain full fitness.
  • McFarlane faces tactical decisions for Monday's visit of in-form Forest; Malo Gusto could drop to the bench if James is fit, while Cole Palmer may move to the wing.
  • In the predicted 4-2-3-1 setup, McFarlane may pair Romeo Lavia with Moises Caicedo or alternatively select Andrey Santos as the Ecuadorian's midfield partner to secure a result.
