Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has announced that midfielder Malo Gusto is fit for selection ahead of the Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge. However, goalkeeper Emi Martinez, alongside Pep Chavarria and Emmanuel Emegha, will miss the game due to injuries. Chelsea have won their last two league matches, defeating Bournemouth 5-1 and securing a 2-0 victory over Everton.
Tottenham, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, won their first Premier League game this season but have yet to secure an away victory. In an update from Chelsea's training session, Alonso confirmed Gusto's readiness after missing the Everton win. He also stated that Chavarria is making progress but will not participate in the Tottenham match.
Emegha remains sidelined due to his recovery. The Argentine goalkeeper, who suffered a jaw injury during the Everton game, is expected to be out for a few weeks following surgery. Chelsea will rely on Gusto's return to bolster their lineup ahead of the London derby, aiming to extend their winning streak and maintain momentum in the league.
