Three Chelsea players are back for the upcoming Premier League clash against Tottenham but Romeo Lavia has suffered a fresh injury problem.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Wednesday morning, Enzo Maresca confirmed Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke were ‘all good’ to feature in Thursday’s London derby.
Lavia’s absence looks set to continue, however, after he suffered a ‘small problem’ n training earlier in the week.
Maresca said: ‘Cole is back, he is okay. Noni is better. Nico is better. They are all good.’
Asked about Lavia’s possible return, Maresca added: ‘He was doing better in terms of progress but unfortunately one or two days ago he had a small problem, so we will see in the next hours.’
