Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen might be among Mauricio Pochettino’s first XI against Fulham on Monday.
Following Ben Chilwell’s absence from the team due to a recently sustained injury, the left-back role is left with a big question mark.
However, the youngster showed an outstanding display in the victory over Brighton in the Carabao Cup.
Matseen who has not yet been named as a starter for the Stamford Bridge side, might be given an opportunity in the game against Fulham, thereby paving way for more starts.
Marc Cucurella could also be deployed as a right-back again, as Chelsea would be without Reece James and Malo Gusto.
