Chelsea's Striker Marc Guiu Eligible for EFL Cup Following Rule Change
Chelsea's striker Marc Guiu is set to be eligible to play in the upcoming EFL Cup match against Lincoln City due to a recent rule change in the tournament. While he may not feature in this game, Chelsea can consider him for future rounds if they progress. The rule change allows players to represent two clubs in the EFL Cup within the same season, a departure from the previous 'cup-tied' restriction. Guiu, who previously played for Sunderland in the competition, was recalled by Chelsea following an injury to Liam Delap. This adjustment comes as a boost to Chelsea's attacking options, given their current injury concerns and loan moves. The EFL Cup's new rule aims to provide more flexibility for player participation and team selection in the competition.
