  • The Blues registered a stunning 3-2 comeback win over West Ham United in the Premier League yesterday. They were on course for a 2-0 defeat in the first half, but came up with a terrific response after the break.

    In the same game, Gittens picked up a hamstring injury in the 26th minute and was replaced by Pedro Neto. The Englishman has had a tough season and will now be on the sidelines for the next few weeks at the least.

    His absence may not be a significant flow for the west London giants, given they still have Alejandro Garnacho, Neto and Estevao as options.

    Garnacho and Neto look poised to start in the wide attacking roles in midweek as Estevao is currently in Brazil due to personal reasons.

    Estevao was absent for yesterday's London derby for the same reason.
