Garnacho on Chelsea’s left flank could herald a tactical shift at Turf Moor
A Turf Moor reunion could unfold as Kyle Walker faces Alejandro Garnacho on Chelsea’s left.
Garnacho has begun to settle at Stamford Bridge after his summer move from Manchester United.
He showed range against Wolves before the international break.
His assist for Pedro Neto blended pace with a precise ball along the carpet.
Garnacho set up Malo Gusto by cutting onto his right foot for a dinked cross.
The cross swung to the far post as Neto celebrated.
His celebrations echoed a familiar scene with Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Hojlund.
The moment underscored how quickly fortunes shift in modern football.
When Garnacho last faced Walker he scored in a major cup final for United.
That memory adds pressure and plot to a Chelsea defense ready for change.
