Chelsea fans will be delighted to hear that Reece James and Romeo Lavia are both set to return to action against Morecambe in the FA Cup third round today. The pair have been sidelined for a while, but have now trained fully and are ready to get some valuable match minutes under their belts.

According to Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, James and Lavia are both available for selection, which is a significant boost for the team. “They are both available. They can get some minutes for tomorrow’s game,” Maresca confirmed.

However, not all the news is positive for Chelsea. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has been struggling to make an impact since his summer move, will miss the game due to an injury. This is a significant setback for the midfielder, who has been linked with a potential exit from the club this month.

Maresca was tight-lipped about the nature of Dewsbury-Hall’s injury, but insisted that the player still has a future at Chelsea. “Kiernan has an injury, so he won’t be able to play,” Maresca said. “But for sure, he has a future with us. He needs to fight for his place, and I know he’s capable of doing that.”

Dewsbury-Hall’s absence from the squad will undoubtedly fuel speculation about his future at Chelsea. However, Maresca’s comments suggest that the player still has a role to play at the club, and that he will be given the opportunity to prove himself in the coming weeks.
