Chelsea without Joao Pedro's suspension: why he will play against Liverpool.

Meeting of Chelsea and Liverpool

According to The Sun: The Chelsea team is preparing for an important match against Premier League leader Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

Although the Blues started the new season with mixed success, they have recently faced difficulties: in their last four matches, they were down to ten men three times due to red cards.

In particular, Joao Pedro received a red card in the match against Benfica, shortly after Robert Sanchez and Trevoh Chalobah were sent off in matches against Manchester United and Brighton respectively.

Although the Londoners managed to finish the game with 11 players, beating Lincoln 2-1, the overall performance raised many questions about their strategy.

SunSport can reveal why Joao Pedro did not receive a suspension for the match against Liverpool in the Premier League.

Why is Joao Pedro not suspended for the match against Liverpool?

The Brazilian forward Joao Pedro will not be suspended for the game since his red card does not extend to the Premier League from the Champions League.

Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton for approximately £55 million during the Club World Cup, where he also scored in the final.

However, he will miss Chelsea's next match in the Champions League against Ajax, but will be able to participate in the game against Liverpool this weekend.

Unlike Robert Sanchez, who was able to play in two consecutive Premier League matches, Pedro must serve his suspension in the league where he received the red card.

Sanchez was not suspended in Chelsea's lost match against Brighton since his punishment was related to the Carabao Cup.

The match against Liverpool will be crucial for Chelsea. The team aims to improve its performance following issues with player suspensions and poor displays. A victory in this match could be an important step in the fight for a place in European competitions, as well as boost the morale of the team and the fans.
