Chelsea boss confirms double injury boost for Burnley trip


Thomas Tuchel news

Chelsea duo fit for Burnley trip

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has confirmed the availability of Reece James and Hakim Ziyech ahead of tomorrow's Premier League clash against Burnley.



The Blues are currently third in the league standings, and have the chance to boost their Champions League prospects with another win.

Ahead of the game, Tuchel has confirmed that James and Ziyech are in contention, having been left out of the matchday squad in midweek.

Meanwhile, Thiago Silva and Trevoh Chalobah will also feature after being rested for the FA Cup fifth round tie against Luton Town recently.

Ben Chilwell is the only long-term absentee for the Blues, but they could be without Cesar Azpilicueta tomorrow as he is nursing a minor injury.

The Blues have won six of the previous seven games in all competitions, but they have not been overly convincing in the goalscoring department.

Burnley could be another tricky challenge. The Clarets have recently picked up draws against Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal.
