Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has been handed a big team news boost ahead of Chelsea’s next match against Crystal Palace on Monday evening.

Of course, just because a team is going to be missing some of their best player, it doesn’t guarantee the opponent anything at all in this game. However, it will certainly help them.

Especially when Chelsea’s opponent is Crystal Palace and three of their best players are Michael Olise, Marc Guehi and Ebere Eze!

And these three are all going to miss the game, that has been confirmed today by their manager Roy Hodgson in his pre-match press conference.

All three of those players are super important for Palace and Olise and Eze are the two biggest danger men for them.

Pochettino and his players should ignore all this noise though despite it being a boost, and just concentrate on their own game and continuing the moment forward after beating Aston Villa 3-1 in the week.
