Chelsea have not called on Jorginho from the start since the restart, so his presence in the lineup today is causing some interest.
Plenty of Blues have been demanding his return in recent games, and they now have their wish for the game against Sheffield United. The Italian lines up with Mason Mount and Ross Barkley.
While we’re not quite as enthusiastic as the commenter who said Chelsea’s “midfield maestro is back,” it’s still very clear what he can bring to the team, especially in a game like this where we may have a decent amount of the ball high up the pitch.
Let’s hope he really gives Frank Lampard some big question marks over his selections for the rest of the season. It might be a physical battle out there, so we hope Jorginho is feeling fresh and rested after his break.
You can see a selection of the reaction here:
Jorginho starts!
Tammy as well, which I totally like because he finally got a goal Tuesday & he did put two past Sheffield United earlier this season.
Unchanged besides that. Good XI.

Jorginho is back.
Willian could be off pens.#FPL

Hopefully they play Kepa as register and Jorginho in goal…

First start for Jorginho since February. Tammy Abraham comes in for Giroud after ending his 10 game goal drought. As reported yesterday, Lewis Bate is on the bench. #CFC #SHUCHE
