We play the Belgian team at the Bridge starting at 8 p.m. on the second of three home games before the international break.

It will be difficult for Enzo Maresca to choose his starting lineup because the Blues are doing so well and have an almost fully healthy roster. After coming off the bench on Saturday, Christopher Nkunku, our hat-trick hero from midweek, will be among those hoping to start right away.

Following that Barrow victory, Nkunku stated, “I think you need to be competitive for each player and each position.”You must put forth a lot of effort and demonstrate your abilities. Our goal is to support the team in each match. All we want is to play each game and have a nice time.

Pedro Neto, who made his Blues debut in the same Barrow match, expressed a similar sentiment and will be looking to get back into the starting lineup.

“No one can sleep with the amount of quality we have here,” stated Neto. We must work hard and keep doing so every week, in every training session, and in every game because, as the head coach has stated, not every player will play every game.

“I think that’s the mindset that will get us there.”Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Cole Palmer—our four-goal hero from Saturday—have not been included in the Conference League roster because of his limited playing time following such a demanding season.

On a soggy morning in Cobham, he continued his regular training regimen, nevertheless, and will be well-rested for Nottingham Forest’s visit the following weekend.Levi Colwill is another player who has had a great start to the season. He has discussed how Maresca has improved his performance.

“I attribute a lot of my success this season to the gaffer,” the Academy graduate stated of his progress thus far.”He has instilled a great deal of confidence and trust in me to play football.” I feel like a major part of how we want to play because he wants me to initiate attacks from the back.

I would like to express my gratitude to him for providing me with the chance to play football and for letting me use my skills in the way I see fit. He constantly challenges me, and I truly appreciate working for him.

We will get to see Maresca and his men back at work in just two days!
