Noni Madueke was shown little love on his return to Chelsea in the Premier League after being given a bruising reception by his former team-mates at Stamford Bridge. Madueke spent two seasons at Chelsea after joining from PSV Eindhoven‚ scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists during his 92 appearances for the club. The winger had been a regular starter for the Blues and contributed to their Conference League success last season‚ while he featured for part of the Club World Cup campaign from the bench.

Chelsea captain James convinced pulling off CWC and World Cup Double

The west Londoners face a tough battle to secure an all-important spot in the top eight of the Champions League group standings‚ with tricky ties against Barcelona and Italian champions Napoli to come. Maresca has been desperate to utilise his expensively-assembled squad this season‚ but has been forced to contend with injuries to key players including Cole Palmer ‚ Enzo Fernandez and Liam Delap - a knock-on effect from their exertions at last summer's Club World Cup .

Enzo Maresca says Club World Cup is still affecting Chelsea after Qarabag draw

Jamie Carragher has defended the hostile reception received by Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right back's first return to Anfield since leaving Liverpool in the summer. The 27-year-old joined Real Madrid in May on a six-year contract‚ shortly after the Liverpool academy graduate won the Premier League with his boyhood club. Alexander-Arnold's summer departure had caused a backlash from the Liverpool fanbase‚ with many angry that the full back had let his contract run down‚ preventing the club from garnering a significant fee. He would ultimately complete a £10m move with Real Madrid opting to sign him ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.
