Chelsea will be without two important players for their upcoming Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on October 18, 2025. Midfielder Enzo Fernandez and defensive midfielder Moisés Caicedo are both doubts due to fitness issues, as confirmed by Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca during the pre-match press conference. Neither trained on Thursday at Cobham, making their participation uncertain. Pedro Neto also remains a doubt with a minor knock.
Another key absentee is Benoit Badiashile, who is sidelined until December after suffering a muscular injury recently against Liverpool. Additionally, Cole Palmer is out for another six weeks with a groin problem and is unlikely to return until December. The good news for Chelsea includes the return of Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana, Andrey Santos, and captain Reece James who are all available for selection.
Chelsea’s manager will need to make tactical adjustments, especially in midfield and defense, to maintain the team’s competitive edge as they travel to face a struggling Nottingham Forest side led by Ange Postecoglou.
