What happened. Joao Pedro withdrew from the Brazil squad earlier this week with an injury described by the national team. Xabi Alonso said on Thursday it was a "possibility" the striker would feature against Brentford.

Pedro has three goals and three assists in four Premier League games this season.
He is priced at £7.8m in Fantasy Premier League with 33 points so far.
His 33 points are joint-most among strikers alongside Erling Haaland.

“It was a possibility he would feature against Brentford this evening.”
— Xabi Alonso

Chelsea face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, with Pedro's availability set to be confirmed closer to kick-off.
