Xabi Alonso's Chelsea squad saw an injury boost with Italian player returning to first-team training at Cobham, alongside players like Pep Chavarria, Danny Welbeck, and Wesley Fofana. However, key players such as Moises Caicedo, Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer, and Reece James were absent due to injuries. Caicedo has only played 14 minutes this season after a calf injury and was forced off again during a match against Brighton. Palmer withdrew from England duty citing a minor muscular issue, while Joao Pedro and Reece James are recovering from knee and hamstring problems respectively. The extent of the recovery period for Joao Pedro and Reece James remains unclear.
