Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell is poised to come back from the cold to make his first appearance of the season during Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash with League Two leaders Barrow.
The England left-back looked set to leave the Blues in the summer after being told he had no future at Stamford Bridge. Head coach Enzo Maresca last week announced the situation had changed and now plans to name Chilwell in his matchday squad for the third-round cup tie after welcoming him back into first-team training.
Asked if the 27-year-old will feature, Maresca said: “I think so. Hopefully we can give him some minutes tomorrow. The idea for him was to leave. In the moment that he’s here, he’s one of the squad, he’s training.
“He will be in the squad tomorrow and hopefully we can give him some minutes.”
