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.
