Chelsea Fans Mystified by Winger’s Absence in Carabao Cup Clash Against Newcastle

Illness Reportedly Keeps Sancho Out for Third Straight Game

Chelsea fans were left puzzled when Jadon Sancho was omitted from the squad for the Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle, marking his third consecutive absence. After a promising run of four Premier League starts, Sancho’s form appeared to dip, leading to two games as an unused substitute before Wednesday’s absence.

The Reason for Sancho’s Omission

Football London reports that Sancho’s exclusion was due to illness, not a tactical decision, offering some clarity and relief to fans concerned about his future at the club. Sancho’s illness update suggests his absence is temporary as he works toward regaining form and fitness at Chelsea.
