Chelsea predicted XI vs. Copenhagen: Possible starting lineup as Enzo Maresca faces Nicolas Jackson problem in Conference League

Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up for Thursday's Conference League clash against Copenhagen at Parken Stadium.

Chelsea are set to take on Copenhagen in the Conference League away from home at Parken Stadium, but Blues boss Enzo Maresca faces a dilemma in his forward line.

Nominal striker Nicolas Jackson is not expected to return to action until early April at the earliest, and his absence may mean that someone like Pedro Neto will have to start in a central position.

However, the Londoners will also be without wind attacker Noni Madueke as a result of a hamstring injury, and he is not scheduled to make his comeback until after the March international break.

Madueke's injury could mean that Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku will be positioned either side of Neto, while Cole Palmer is certain to appear in attack.

Midfielder Romeo Lavia is a doubt, so expect Enzo Fernandez to be partnered by Moises Caicedo, especially as both featured against Southampton in their last game on February 25.

Elsewhere, centre-backs Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah are both dealing with injuries and will join goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina on the sidelines.

Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo are likely to be selected to play in the backline, and they may be trusted to protect goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Jorgensen; Gusto, Adarabioyo, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Sancho, Palmer, Nkunku; Neto
