Chelsea Faces Everton Without Key Players Amid Injury Concerns

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed several key injury updates ahead of their Premier League match against Everton. Malo Gusto will miss the game due to a minor injury but is expected to return soon, while Marc Guiu and Aaron Anselmino remain sidelined. Romeo Lavia is fit and could feature, as Maresca aims for a gradual return to action similar to Reece James, who is also available. Youngsters Tyrique George and Josh Acheampong are pushing for more involvement following recent performances. For Everton, several players including Orel Mangala, Jesper Lindstrom, James Tarkowski, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be absent, and Armando Broja is ineligible to face his parent club. Chelsea, currently sixth in the league, are seeking a win to boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
