Reports have claimed that one Chelsea player who has been on the sidelines recently could be about to make his return.
According to the Evening Standard, the Blues could be about to welcome back someone they have missed in the last few weeks.
The defence is a position in particular where Chelsea have been badly affected by injuries this season.
Reece James has hardly played a part in his first season as captain, while Wesley Fofana will likely not make an appearance at all this season.
