Chelsea handed big injury boost for Crystal Palace clash

Chelsea have been handed a big injury boost ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

The Blues recently bowed out of the Champions League to Real Madrid at the quarter-final stage, but gave a good account of themselves.

Despite the setback, manager Thomas Tuchel was hugely delighted with the performance in the second leg which finished 3-2 at the Bernabeu.

Tuchel will want his team to carry the momentum into the FA Cup semi-final. Ahead of the game, there has been a timely injury boost for the Blues.

Romelu Lukaku has missed the last two matches with an Achilles injury, but he has been deemed fit to return to training ahead of the London derby.

Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are the regular striker pairing at the moment, but Lukaku could feature off the bench against the Eagles tomorrow.

The Blues have won nine straight league games against Palace, and they will be overwhelming favourites to beat them at Wembley Stadium.
