Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez were not in the Chelsea team for Saturday’s 2-0 loss to Brentford at Stamford Bridge.

For the match against Brentford, Noni Madueke and Nicolas Jackson took their places in the starting lineup.

“Enzo and Misha sensed something during yesterday’s training,” Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, said to reporters.

Both had minor muscle damage. They’re not quite ready, but we felt they would be fine to join the squad. Although none of them are major problems, we didn’t want to take any chances.
