Alonso has been sidelined since the 1-1 Premier League draw at home to Arsenal in October with a metatarsal injury.



Manager Rafael Benitez told the Reds’ website: “Xabi is training normally and should be available for the match at Chelsea.



“We are going into a busy period with lots of games so it is important to have our best players available.”
