Chelsea are preparing for an important FA Cup fourth-round match against Brighton, with the club making a notable move by including defender Aaron Anselmino in the squad for the first time. The 19-year-old, who was recalled from his loan spell at Boca Juniors last month, has been seen training with the first team as he adapts to life at Stamford Bridge. Previously omitted from the Conference League squad, Anselmino’s inclusion in this domestic cup fixture is viewed as a crucial opportunity for him to earn competitive minutes and potentially make his debut.

There has been some debate among fans about whether recalling Anselmino was the right decision, given that his game time might be limited. However, the club’s hierarchy appears confident that the FA Cup will provide a platform for the young Argentine defender to showcase his abilities. With Brighton also set to play in a league fixture the following Friday, a strong performance in the cup tie could help secure his future prospects at Chelsea.
