What to expect from Blue Lock chapter 246?

Blue Lock chapter 246, titled Anomaly and Abnormal, may focus on a duo. With the manga hyping up the match between Bastard Munchen and Paris X Gen, there is a good chance that the next chapter may also focus on PXG. Given their two star strikers - Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shido, the upcoming Blue Lock manga chapter could focus on the same.

With that, fans may likely learn about the team chemistry between the France team players. In addition, there is a good chance that the series will share something new about Charles Chevalier.
