Antonio Conte is forced to adjust his game plan against Norwich City in the FA Cup on Wednesday.
In this match, it was planned that after a substitution, team newcomer Ross Barkley would appear, but it turned out that the debutant will not be able to play. The footballer was bought on January 5 from Everton for £15 million. And it was precisely on January 5 that the third round of the FA Cup began.
It was revealed that Chelsea delayed by several hours to register R. Barkley into their squad, therefore the player will not be able to play.
Chelsea strategist A. Conte planned for R. Barkley to make his debut in these matches by rising from the substitute bench, but it will not happen. It is claimed that A. Conte himself recently found out that the Briton will not be able to play.
Now it is planned to hold private friendly matches in which R. Barkley could warm up with Chelsea jerseys.
