Sonia Bompastor has confirmed that Lucy Bronze will not be part of the Chelsea squad for Sunday’s London derby away at Tottenham Hotspur, while Aggie Beever-Jones remains a fitness doubt as the Blues fine-tune preparations for the weekend showdown.
Chelsea head into the north London trip determined to respond on the pitch after a disappointing setback against Manchester City.
As the focus now switches to Spurs, Bompastor offered a clear update on the availability of her England internationals during her pre-match press conference.
“Lucy won’t be in the squad for the weekend and we are still assessing Aggie to see if she will be in the squad,” Bompastor said. “We still have two training sessions before the game.”
The Chelsea boss stressed that the coming days will be crucial as the medical team continues to monitor Beever-Jones ahead of final selection decisions.
Meanwhile, the situation surrounding Bronze remains one that requires careful management.
“We’re still assessing options for her to make the right individual decision.”
As the countdown to kick-off gathers pace, Chelsea will be hoping for positive news on Beever-Jones while reshuffling options to cope with Bronze’s absence.
All eyes now turn to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Blues will look to regain momentum and make a statement in the London derby.
