Chelsea trio return to training ahead of Everton trip

Chelsea have been handed a triple fitness boost ahead of Sunday's Premier League encounter against Everton on the road.

The Blues played out a frustrating 1-1 draw against Manchester United last night. They were the better side, but were poor with their finishing.

Thomas Tuchel will be hoping for a strong response against the Toffees. Ahead of the game, there has been a triple fitness boost for the Blues.

Mateo Kovacic has been unavailable for the past few matches with an ankle ligament injury, but he was involved in today's training session.

Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen and Ross Barkley were also back on the training field after a stomach concern and an illness respectively.

The Blues have been largely inconsistent with their league form this month, but they are still on course to finish in the Champions League spots.

They need a maximum of eight points from the final five games to ensure a top-four spot. It may be much less if Tottenham Hotspur stumble.
