Teddy Sharman-Lowe - The Chelsea shotstopper kept a clean sheet as his side scored three second half goals to beat Chelmsford City 3-0.

The young stopper spoke about his experience ahead of the game, and acknowledged the importance of making the step to senior football.

He said: "It's a good start for anyone. It's men's football, it's different, it's enjoyable, the training is good so it's really important. Very different, very fun, training is enjoyable, games and training are more competitive with a must-win attititude."

Max Merrick - Merrick first saw a 3-1 win over Yate Town before Hanwell were defeated 3-0 by Dorchester Town at the weekend.

Malang Sarr - The Frenchman was not in Monaco's squad for their impressive 3-1 victory over PSG due to a hip issue.

Ethan Ampadu - The Welsh international was banned for Spezia's draw with Empoli due to an accumulation of yellow cards this term.

Levi Colwill - The Chelsea defender was once again ruled out after Robert De Zerbi noted that he would be assessed ahead of Crystal Palace. It has been suggested Colwill may not be available for Brighton for another two weeks.

Bashir Humphreys - Humphreys was involved in a dramatic game in Bundesliga 2 as his Paderbon side came back from being 2-0 down in the opening four minutes to prevail 4-3 away to Hannover 96. The defender once again lined up on the left side of a back three.

Malo Gusto - Chelsea's January signing was absent from Lyon's squad against Lens after the defender aggravated a hamstring issue the previous week.

Laurent Blanc provided an update ahed of the game: "We have a problem with Malo. He injured his hamstring a few games ago and he recovered. He still has discomfort. You have to treat it well, but it’s not much.

"I hope that Lyon and Chelsea will show common sense. In any case, he is not fit to play a Ligue 1 match, it is better to wait. But he could be on the bench."

Henry Lawrence - Lawrence could only feature for the final 15 minutes of MK Dons fraw with Oxford United.

Ian Maatsen - The Burnley loanee helped his side to a 3-0 derby victory over Preston and performed well having been named as Championship player of the month for January earlier in the week. Given the current form of Marc Cucurella for Chelsea, a clamour to see Maatsen in blue next season is starting to build. A big decision awaits with the Dutch defender's contract set to expire in 2024.

Sam McClelland - McClelland recorded a second start after recovering from injury but could not prevent his Barrow side falling to a 95th minute Newport County strike.

Baba Rahman - Having missed out on Reading's last squad due to the number of loan players the Royals have, Rahman returned for their clash with Sunderland. The Ghana international was straight back in the starting XI but was unfortunatley at fault for Sunderland's winning goal as he gave the ball away.

Dujon Sterling - A solid outing from Sterling who played down the left flank as Stoke kept a clean sheet against Hull. Potters boss Alex Neil is hopeful that finding momentum in the end of the season could prove key to persuading the likes of Sterling to remain at the club beyond his loan.

“Of course,” he said. “If the guys we have brought in on loan are a part of a team that has really got momentum and enjoy it and think this is the best place for their career, it gives us a better chance of retaining those players or attracting players of that ilk.

“It all folds into each other. It’s in our hands to go and perform as well as we can between now and the end of the season.”

Tino Anjorin - The midfielder remains registered on loan at Huddersfield Town but is expected to remain out for the season following his ankle surgery and is rehabbing at Cobham.

Tiemoue Bakayoko - Somewhat familiarly, Bakayoko was on the bench for AC Milan with little prospect of entering the field as the Italian side beat Torino 1-0.

Xavier Simons - The midfielder dropped out of Hull's squad to face Stoke City.

Cesare Casadei - The midfielder had to settle for a place on the bench as Reading lost to Sunderland.

Romelu Lukaku - Inter are set to play Sampdoria on Monday evening with the Belgian striker expected to start alongside Lautaro Martinez for the first time in six months.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - The Chelsea winger was absent from Bayer Leverkusen's squad that beat Hoffenheim 3-1.
