Three players’ fitness levels have been improved for Chelsea’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Christmas Eve, according to head coach Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues will enter the game fresh off of a thrilling Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle United on Tuesday night. Now, focus returns to Premier League action as we travel to the Midlands.
Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, has been given a triple injury boost. The Chelsea manager is scheduled to face the media on Friday to present the latest team news. As he approaches his last setback, left-back Ben Chilwell is anticipated to resume training very soon, according to football.london.
Prior to the European Championships in the summer of next year, the former Leicester City player will be looking to impress Gareth Southgate. Chilwell’s time at Stamford Bridge has been cut short by multiple muscular ailments, but his comeback will be greatly appreciated with Marc Cucurella sidelined.
According to football.london, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is also anticipated to return in the upcoming weeks. The Spaniard injured his knee during the loss to Manchester United, and a few days later, he suffered more damage against Everton.
This weekend at Molineux will be Noni Madueke’s last opportunity to be with his teammates. The 21-year-old was judged unfit for Tuesday’s cup victory despite having just resumed first-team training.
