Chelsea will make a late decision today on Reece James and Pedro Neto for the Premier League clash at Wolves .

The Blues were dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage against Arsenal on Tuesday, a game both James and Neto missed after failing fitness tests on the morning of the game.

While some reports suggested the Chelsea captain was being rested that night, he and Neto were still being assessed this week with Rosenior revealing on Thursday a decision will be made ahead of kick-off.

Cole Palmer and Estevao Willian were left on the bench against Arsenal, coming on in the second-half to little effect.

Palmer’s fitness problems this season have been well-documented while Estevao returned from Brazil this week to attend to a personal matter.

Both are available to start at Molineux today with Rosenior confident they can get 90 minutes under their respective belts.

Tosin Adarabioyo remains sidelined along with Levi Colwill with midfield options Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia also still unavailable.

Mamadou Sarr, recalled from his loan at Strasbourg in the final days of the January transfer window, will be part of the squad and is in line to make his Premier League debut.

Enzo Fernandez could be due a rest having played the full 90 minutes in four games across the last 12 days.

Rosenior tweaked his system at the Emirates midweek but we expect him to revert back to his more familiar setup today.

If there are any lingering doubts over James’ fitness, the Chelsea boss will be tempted to hold off and keep him fresh for the midweek clash with Leeds United next Tuesday.
