Chelsea handed double injury boost ahead of Villa game

25 January 2024 - 20:56

Chelsea have been handed a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso


  • The Blues recently booked their spot in the Carabao Cup final following a convincing 6-1 aggregate win over Middlesbrough.

    They will now turn their focus to another Cup competition. Unai Emery\'s side will visit Stamford Bridge in Friday\'s late kick-off.

    Ahead of the game, the club have confirmed a big boost with both Nkunku and Gusto back in full training with their teammates.

    The duo may not be rushed back to the starting line-up, but could be involved in some capacity against the Villans in the FA Cup tie.

    Villa beat the Blues in the recent Premier League outing. The London giants will be seeking to avenge the result with a solid win.

    Mauricio Pochettino\'s side are currently one of the most in-form teams in the country, but they must not take Villa for granted.
