Rivers United FC Overview

Departure options shrink for De Jong

Jordan Henderson has been a divisive character at times over the course of his domestic and international career - mainly among supporters - but top managers such as Jurgen Klopp, Thomas Tuchel and Xabi Alonso all love him. Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has explained to GOAL why that is the case, with the ex-Liverpool captain having moved to Stamford Bridge as a free agent in 2026.

Ethan Ampadu has ridden quite the professional rollercoaster over the course of his career, with former Leeds defender Matt Kilgallon assessing that journey during an exclusive interview with GOAL. The versatile Wales international has gone from joining Chelsea at the age of 16, finding himself “way off it” during a loan spell at Sheffield United before becoming a talismanic “leader” of men at Elland Road.

Chelsea captain Reece James is facing another spell on the sidelines after failing to appear for team training on Tuesday. The versatile defender is currently struggling with a knee complaint that has cast doubt over his availability for the upcoming Premier League clash against Everton.
