Maxence Lacroix is out until after the international break, Chelsea's Xabi Alonso expects. Aaron Anselmino is "a few weeks" from full fitness. For the Premier League game with Man United, Moisés Caicedo is fit, Pep Chavarría is back, and Jorrel Hato isn't a left-back option.
Wesley Fofana is among Chelsea's centre-back options without Maxence Lacroix, and Xabi Alonso liked his last game: "He was consistent, he was strong, and I saw many positives." The manager named Levi Colwill and Josh Acheampong as options too.
