Chelsea List Pedro, Colwill and James as Doubts for Sunderland Finale

Calum McFarlane points to post‑final recovery needs before confirming his squad.

Overview

Interim coach Calum McFarlane said it is a wait‑and‑see call on Joao Pedro, Levi Colwill and Reece James for the season‑ending match at Sunderland.
McFarlane explained that Colwill was rested because he has only just returned from a serious knee injury and the turnaround from the FA Cup final was too quick.
Reece James was named on the bench against Tottenham but did not come on as the staff continue to manage his return from injury.
Joao Pedro was left out with a slight knock that McFarlane said is not a major concern.
Chelsea beat Tottenham 2‑1 without the trio, which the reports noted was their first Premier League home win since January.
