Huddersfield Town vs Chelsea FC - Wagner to make late call on new signing Mbenza
Posted Friday, August 10, 2018 by PA
Huddersfield boss David Wagner will make a late decision on whether to include Isaac Mbenza in his squad to face Chelsea.
Forward Mbenza arrived on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move from Montpellier on transfer deadline day and will be assessed, while summer signing Erik Durm is not yet match-fit.
Midfielder Danny Williams is still working his way back from injury, but other new signings Ben Hamer, Adama Diakhaby, Juninho Bacuna and Ramadan Sobhi are all hoping to make their debuts.
Kepa Arrizabalaga and Mateo Kovacic could make their Chelsea debuts in Saturday’s Premier League season opener at Huddersfield.
Kepa signed for a world record fee for a goalkeeper on Wednesday night and midfielder Kovacic completed his season long loan move on Thursday.
World Cup winners N’Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud, Belgium ace Eden Hazard and England defender Gary Cahill come into contention after taking part in training this week.
