Chelsea boss says defender could return from injury vs Crystal Palace

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has said that Levi Colwill could recover from his groin injury ahead of the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on the road.

The Blues recently progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup after a convincing 3-0 win over Aston Villa away from home. They ended a two-match losing streak with the result.

The club will now be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League. Ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park, Pochettino has said that Colwill could be in contention for the derby.

Colwill has been sidelined for the past few games with a groin issue. The Englishman was close to making his comeback in midweek and could be deemed fit for the trip to south London.

Chelsea are currently in a poor position in the league in 11th after losing their last two games, conceding eight goals. They need to make a statement on Monday night with a convincing win.
