    Didn't Chelsea agree that Courtois couldn't play against them when he joined Atletico but it was overturned?

    They definitely can't play.

    It's quite a long list of players not available on Friday, though there's a chance Dawson and/or Grosicki will make it.

    Michael Hector (ineligible)
    Ola Aina (ineligible)
    Fikayo Tomori (ineligible)
    Seb Larsson (suspended)
    Markus Henriksen (ankle)
    Ondrej Mazuch (hamstring)
    Michael Dawson (groin)
    Kamil Grosicki (ankle).
    Stephen Kingsley (groin)
    Abel Hernandez (Achilles)
    Ryan Mason (fractured skull)
    Moses Odubajo (knee)
    James Weir (knee)

    Can't imagine Chelsea being bothered either way.

    It's normal for clubs to not allow loan players to play against their parent clubs in cup competitions.

    The quote you stated refers to the competition in general, not against parent clubs.
    Unless a special agreement was made (and I doubt one was), they can’t play.

    I ****ing dread to think what our defence will look like.

    A game Chelsea could genuinely get into double figures.

    RB Meyler
    CB Angus
    CB ??
    LB Clark

    Hopefully Dawson might be back

    Reckon Chelsea will play a few 'kids' as well - Ampadu and the like. They play Barcelona on Tuesday.

    Is Meyler fit? Wasn't in the squad at Forest was he? If he is we might need him in midfield too.

    It was more wishful thinking as he wasn't in the 'currently injured' list. Worried.

    Meyler is available and will probably start at right back.

    Could we play a back three of Meyler, McDonald and Clark, with Clackstone on the bench? Would we want to risk Daws coming back too early from injury as he’s becoming a bit injury prone.

    Yeh he might hurt his hand so he can’t sign his new contract at Forest!
