Omo, make I tell you wetin dey happen for Chelsea! Dem don confirm say dem go change their Champions League squad after di January transfer window close last week. Liam Rosenior and e boys don secure top-eight spot for di league, na wetin make dem fit sidon relax as dem dey wait to know who dem go face for di knockout stage.
Last month, dem carry three points from Napoli wey sweet well-well; sabi say na by dis win dem dodge di play-offs. Now, as di league don finish, na time for dem to rearrange dem squad in preparation for di road wey go lead dem go Budapest.
But no be so dem dey jolly, because di transfer window no full with new players wey don land for Stamford Bridge. Na only one player wey don follow dem back from loan be Mamadou Sarr, di 20-year-old Senegal international defender. Dis guy don dey shine for Strasbourg, wey make Rosenior reason am fit to join di first team as injuries dey waka for defence!
As Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo dey manage injury matter, dem decide say Sarr go dey important for di squad. Sarr don confirm sey he go wear di No.19 jersey wey he wear before, and all eyes go dey on am as di Chelsea players dey expect make he fit deliver di goods as dem face Wolves dis Saturday.
As e be, dem lose Dario Essugo from di squad because di guy don gree with injury during training. Sabi say dis kind wahala no be news again for Chelsea, as Rosenior talk sey dem go miss di boy for at least anoda month. Na wetin wey make dem shake di players’ list again.
For di list wey dem get, na plenty players dey, including Robert Sanchez, Enzo Fernandez, and Moises Caicedo wey go dey midfield as dem prepare to joggle dem tactics. But di main gist na how Chelsea go fit use Sarr as dem dey chase better form wey go carry dem go far in di Champions League.
As dem dey organize di squad for UEFA, wey still dey show players wey don comot like Tyrique George and Ato Ampah, matter don dey hot for di club. All eyes dey on Rosenior, because injuries don dey disturb him line-up, but we dey keep our fingers crossed say Colwill go recover before season run finish.
Mamadou Sarr suppose dey ready to dey blend with di squad we’vey he don dey train with dem back-to-back since e land. Di boy don get experience from di Club World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations wey e just come back from, so make we see wetin go happen for him debut if Rosenior fit trust am to start.
As e dey be, Chelsea dey try to redefine dem self under dis new management, and Sarr fit just be di missing link wey dem dey find. Na wetin time go show, but for now, fans dey jolly dey follow all di action.
