The weekend’s fourth-round FA Cup fixtures will conclude this evening, and it is hoped that one Chelsea player will get some game time.

 

The Blues had a dreadful transfer window, though they did manage to complete a few deals.

 

The transfer window shut a couple of weeks ago, and it was an underwhelming and unusual one for Chelsea. They made just one signing, a player who is only expected to serve as a deep backup option this season before likely going out on loan in the summer.

 

Aside from that, Chelsea mainly sent several players out on loan, with the only permanent departure being Cesare Casadei’s move to Torino.

 

Among those loaned out was Ben Chilwell, who was sidelined and poorly treated by Chelsea despite serving as the club’s vice-captain just last season.

 

Chilwell set to feature tonight

Now at Crystal Palace, Chilwell appears likely to make his first appearance for the club in tonight’s match against Doncaster.

Speaking on Friday, Palace manager Oliver Glasner stated: “We can’t expect Ben Chilwell to be playing 90 minutes. We can’t expect Adam Wharton playing 90 minutes. But it is possible they play. It is possible Romain Esse starts, but again, there’s many things for us to consider.

 

“I think both are ready to start, but I don’t want to plan that both maybe have to get off at half-time.

 

“My feeling tells me it’s not a good idea to start both at the same time when both are not available for 90 minutes – but maybe on Sunday I’ll have a different opinion.

 

“So there are many things we are thinking about, and then we will decide on the latest time we can, when we tell the players, latest Monday noon.”
