And all of that can replace the manager’s front if Frank Lampard doesn’t know the results, with reports suggesting Roman Abramovich has investigated Max Allegri.
Get all Stamford Bridge updates here. . .
DENIS THE THREAT
Borussia Munchengladbach’s midfielder Denis Zakaria is said to be at the center of a war between Manchester United and Chelsea.
The 23-year-old, who still has two years of contract with the Bundesliga, has been out on one knee since March.
But that hasn’t stopped the Red Devils and Blues from moving through the Swiss international, who will be allowed to leave next summer.
According to Bild, the two Premier Leagues are vying to bring former Young Boys star to England.
United wants a defensive midfielder to upgrade to the aging Nemanja Matic, who turned 32 in August.
Meanwhile, Frank Lampard is looking for opportunities for West Ham’s Declan Rice, as he was unable to keep him away from London Stadium.
But either group could miss Zakaria, saying Bayern Munich were also willing to catch up with him.
PRESTAMO RANGER
Chelsea are in a position to pass on flop goalkeeper Kepa on loan and Sevilla is reportedly interested.
The Spaniard has been replaced through Edouard Mendy and the return to his home country could be in January.
With Mendy injured in the outdoor service with Senegal, Kepa returns to the starting lineup this weekend.
But after another mistake in the Blues’ 3-3 draw with Southampton, they had enough.
Mendy returns to the call-up for Tuesday’s Champions League 0-0 draw against Sevilla.
And the Spanish warplanes of Chelsea will cede to Kepa in January, according to the Sports Stadium.
STRONG HEAD
Football lawmakers are in a position to give soft green to concussion substitutes as a component of a new protection policy.
The last assembly of the International FA Board agreed that player protection should be a priority.
They also felt that a new technique was needed for head injuries.
Ifab is now in the position of “additional permanent replacements” for players who may suffer concussions.
Testing of the new one is expected to begin in January 2021.
A final resolution will be taken at ifab’s annual business meeting in December.
Ifab said: “Additional consultations for members, in collaboration with the FIFA medical branch and other stakeholders, to facilitate testing from January 2021 for any festival interested in participating.
“The Brain Concussion Panel (CEG) has reiterated that player coverage is the number one goal and that a transparent and consistent technique that works well at all levels of the game is needed.
Therefore, the organization agreed that applying a philosophy “in case of doubt eliminating them” would be the most productive solution to the fitness of footballers. “
THE BEST OF BEN
Ben Chilwell could have smoothly followed a race as a cricketer.
Joshua Jones of SunSport went to the former Chelsea school in Bedfordshire, talked to his former manager.
Andy Whomsley said: “Ben, a very talented sportsman, county cricketer until he was 16.
“If I hadn’t played football, I would certainly have played cricket.
“If he hadn’t played cricket, he might have just gone to the City of London to do business.
“He was a young man, articulated, intelligent, appreciated, with a sense of intelligent humor, a perfect communicator.
ZAK ATTACK
Chelsea aim to take Manchester United and Manchester City to Denis Zakaria’s signing in January, according to reports.
The Bleus have been willing to put a midfielder on their team for some time and now have perspectives on Borussia Monchengladbach’s 23-year-old player, Bild reports.
Chelsea were interested in signing up for the Swiss foreigner this summer, but decided to brake after spending more than 250 million pounds on signings.
FORMER TUTORS
Petr Cech’s inclusion in Chelsea’s Premier League team has caught the eye.
The 38-year-old veteran goalkeeper retired from the game at the end of the 2018-2019 campaign.
Since then he has assumed the role of manager and advisor to the club.
But boss Frank Lampard believes the former Arsenal player can do an emergency job.
Surprisingly, he is the 19dest officially registered player this season.
FANS GOOD MORNING BLUES
Jorginho took on an additional task as Thiago Silva’s English instructor for the Brazilian superstar to move to Chelsea.
Brazil-born Italian Jorginho also plays the role of unofficial translator in the locker room, and is helping the team solve defensive problems.
Thiago, 36, signed loose this summer from Paris Saint-Germain and is even considered a key figure behind him even though his knowledge of English is minimal.
The 28-year-old midfielder Jorginho said: “When you have questions or doubts, you ask me and I ask you if I can, because my English is not very good.
“I taught him ‘man in’, ‘turn’ or if he’s on the other side, ‘we change the game’. The things you want on the floor. ” Man in, “fall” or “up. “
“We are looking to help others. That’s what you do on and off the field.
“He’s satisfied here. He has a wonderful personality, a wonderful player with a lot of experience.
“He’s helping us all as a group, the young players, everyone.
“Discover a way to communicate, either with your hands or talk to me and I give the data to others. We’re looking for a way. “
Silva himself revealed that in a ground training discussion he learned that Petr Cech was preparing for Chelsea.
He told Esporte Interativo: “He’s a guy we shouldn’t give up on. His story is very nice in football. “
“We talked a little bit, he speaks a little French, so we have a little more discussion than usual.
“And the other day I saw him exercise and asked him why he exercised, if it was because he liked it or if he had a chance to be with us.
He said he was training, so if he needed it, whatever the chance, he can play.
And finally, Frank Lampard has distanced Chelsea from discussions about a European Super League.
Liverpool and Premier League rivals Liverpool United are at the forefront of plans to upgrade the Champions League with an even more lucrative alternative.
But Lampard told reporters after Tuesday’s draw with Sevilla: “I don’t know enough about it.
“I love the Premier League, I love the product, as we all do in England.
“I’m a big fan of reading headlines like I did today.
“Chelsea, as far as I’m concerned, are aiming for the Premier League. “
BOLD TRAFFORD
Chelsea will then go to Manchester United on Saturday to a 4-0 coup in Frank Lampard’s first Premier League match as coach.
Jorginho said: “We seek to be a strong team, fitting so many goals. We have to work on it, but it’s hard.
“Goals and small main points can make a difference in the end.
“We want to paint on other things to improve, but I think we’re on the right track.
“We want to protect the internal surface, how to press and not turn off stopped games.
“These main points make a big difference. We have to be conscious all the time. We’re looking to do that.
“Thiago (Silva) helped a lot, he spoke a lot. Defensively, he has great delight and knows football tactically, so he’s helping us all a lot.
“He’s been betting on a high point for a long time. I think it’s easy to see he’s a wonderful player on the field.
CLASS ACT
Jorginho took on an additional task as Thiago Silva’s English instructor for the Brazilian superstar to move to Chelsea.

“He discovers a way to communicate, either with his hands or he talks to me and I give the data to others. We look for a way. “
STAY CALM AND KEPA ON
Gianfranco Zola admits that he surprised with Kepa Arrizabalaga’s dramatic fall at Chelsea.
SPORT speaks: “I’m very surprised.
“I know he’s very young and he came to Chelsea for a lot of money and it’s a big burden on his shoulders, and that’s probably going to affect him.
“I may perceive a little difficulty, but it goes beyond expected and surprised me. And I’m sorry for the boy because he’s a smart kid and a smart doorman. “
“You have to get up and do what you can do and show others that it’s different, because I think it has potential. “

He told BT Sport: “They (Manchester United) can also take advantage of their performances tonight!
“They had a great result.
“We have to do it, it’s a long season and we’re in the early stages.

“You can just throw AJ in front and he’d throw it to the bottom of the net or put him in the back and let him defend.
“Could I have it?” If you fully implemented it. He has a gift for everything, it can be boring.

“I sought to have it and I think the enthusiasts will be the same because and even in things like the difference in length between the changing room at home and away from home.
“There is a big difference between the luxury of a house and the convertible rooms.

Sincerely
Frank Lampard satisfied with one point after the Blues opened their Champions League crusade with a 0-0 draw with Sevilla.
He said, “[The blank sheet is] anything you try. Thiago has shown delight and quality.
Mendy had an impediment to do and he did, a very arranged defensive function on our part.
“We control all the things that were thrown at us. We had a few moments, too. It’s wise, it’s a matter of two very smart groups being annuled in the first game, and we take the point and move on. “
“I think any of the groups will be quite satisfied with that. We’re going to get better, I stay saying the same thing, we haven’t had the staff there, we play regularly, we build relationships, we paint with others.
“If we do this, we will naturally get better. “
GO WITH THE FLO
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said Chelsea’s fragility in the back prevented them from winning the Premier League title.
told Sky Sports: “No, Chelsea are a contender [for the title].
“They lose too many passes. It’s a breath of air to see them go ahead with Mason Mount and [Timo] Werner.
“But defense is a concern, if the power plants and the doorman can’t, that’s a problem.
“Alisson wins trouble in Liverpool, but that’s not the case with Kepa. Chelsea want to do it in this area.
