Chelsea are expected to be without Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho against Liverpool on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both players have been nursing injuries and interim head coach Calum McFarlane believes they will miss the trip to Merseyside.<\/p>\n Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is unavailable, having been taken off during the recent defeat against Nottingham Forest<\/strong><\/span> with a head injury.<\/p>\n \u201cNeto and Garnacho are carrying knocks, so they are unlikely to be available. Rob is also not going to be available,\u201d McFarlane said.<\/p>\n McFarlane added that Levi Colwill, who recently returned from a long-term knee injury, and captain Reece James, have both trained fully and that their chances of being involved this weekend are \u201clooking promising\u201d.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the news on youngster Jesse Derry still looks \u201cpositive\u201d, McFarlane said, although he will not be available to play again before the end of the season.<\/p>\n The teenage son of former QPR midfielder Shaun Derry was taken off, also with a head injury<\/strong><\/span>against Forest, having been given a full debut.<\/p>\n McFarlane explained: \u201cI spoke to Jesse\u2019s dad the night it happened and the family yesterday. It\u2019s positive.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t have the insight to go into massive details, but the early signs are positive. As long as he\u2019s healthy, that\u2019s all that really matters.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the latest direct to your phone \u2013 follow West London Sport\u2019s WhatsApp channel<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chelsea are expected to be without Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho against Liverpool on Saturday….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6010"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6010\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"WhatsApp\"\/](\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/6\/6b\/WhatsApp.svg\")
