JAKARTA - Chelsea manager Graham Potter has named three young players in the squad who will faceManchester City in the third round of the English League Cup (Carabao Cup), Thursday, November 10 in the morning WIB.
The three names are Omari Hutchinson (winger), Lewis Hall (gelandang), and Bashir folis (bek). The three of them are believed to have the opportunity to appear in the match at the Etihad Stadium later.
The reason is, a number of key Blues players also cannot be played. This makes Potter likely will rely on their young players.
As is known, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Wesley Fofana, N'Golo Kante and Carney Chukwuemeka are still undergoing injury treatment.
Despite including a number of young players, Potter denies taking this event lightly. He said his team would remain competitive and try to win this match.
"We have to be as strong as we can and we do our best to prepare the team," Potter said as quoted by Tribal Football, Wednesday, November 9.
"We will play the game. We have to go there, be competitive and try to win because I think mentality is important."
He considered Chelsea not in a position to say this match was something important.
"We want to be competitive because that's how you learn and that's an important part of the process."
