Bromley vs Chelsea U21s (EFL Trophy) preview

You could be forgiven for thinking that Bromley’s Football League Trophy fixture against Chelsea U21s will see a wealth of Chelsea’s fringe first-team players trot onto the Hayes Lane turf.

You would be mistaken.

Despite Chelsea’s bloated first-team squad, and a transfer strategy that hinges on hoarding some of the best young talent in the world, this encounter is unlikely to feature any household names.
