Story summary
Xabi Alonso, Chelsea's head coach, announced that Palmer, Joao Pedro, Caicedo, James, and Palestra have returned to training and are ready for the upcoming Premier League match against Bournemouth on October 10, 2026. This comes after a three-week international break during which several players were unavailable due to injuries or national team duties. However, Jamie Gittens is out for several weeks with an ankle injury sustained while playing for England's Under-21s against Kazakhstan. Chelsea’s co-sporting director, Laurence Stewart, will be leaving the club after four years, and his responsibilities are being redistributed among the remaining sporting leadership team members. The match at Stamford Bridge marks Chelsea’s first game in 22 days since a 3-0 loss to Brentford and is set for 3 pm BST on Saturday, but it won't be televised due to broadcasting regulations.
