Young guns Palmer, Abraham in Chelsea squad for Liverpool

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has included youngsters Kasey Palmer and Tammy Abraham in his squad for Wednesday's clash with Liverpool.

The Dutch manager also confirmed that Diego Costa and Branislav Ivanovic will miss the trip to Anfield due to respective injuries.

Spain international Costa is also expected to miss the season-ending game against champions Leicester City on the weekend but it gives the Blues a chance to blood some more youngsters in the form of academy stars Palmer and Abraham.

"We take Kasey and we take Tammy," Hiddink said.

"Ivanovic is out with a groin problem, Costa with a hamstring problem is out. I think he will be out for the weekend too."
