Daniel Farke addresses squad fitness ahead of EFL Cup tie at Chelsea

Manager Daniel Farke confirms his squad is preparing for the upcoming EFL Cup Round Three match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The team enters the fixture following a draw against Brighton & Hove Albion over the weekend. Daniel James remains a minor doubt after reporting hamstring and back issues during the previous warm-up, though recent scans showed no significant injury. The player is undergoing individual training sessions to determine his availability for the midweek cup tie. Joe Rodon remains sidelined due to a long-term injury, while the rest of the squad is reported fit for selection. Daniel Farke indicated that the quick turnaround in the schedule may lead to some squad rotation to maintain freshness across the competition.
