Noni Madueke is still absent for Chelsea today in their final Premier League Summer Series game, against rivals Fulham.

The 21-year-old was one of the few bright sparks at the end of last season but has yet to play for his new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Reece James played 65 minutes in Chelsea’s previous friendly in the Premier League Summer Series, a 1-1 draw against Newcastle in Atlanta, but is back on the bench.
