Chelsea set for big injury boost ahead of Forest clash

Chelsea are set for a big injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest this weekend.

The Blues secured a statement win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge before the international break. It ended a three-match winless streak in the league.

They will now be aiming for back-to-back victories. Ahead of the trip to City Ground, the Blues are poised to receive a boost on Enzo Fernandez.

Fernandez picked up a minor knee injury on international duty and he was sent back to Cobham early to receive the necessary treatment.

Blues boss Enzo Maresca will provide an update on him tomorrow, but reports claim that Fernandez is expected to be fit for Saturday's game.

Chelsea have had a stop-start season with wins and defeats and need to build a winning run hereon to improve their top-four league prospects.

The Blues are presently seventh in the league with 11 points. They should be favourites to win against an out-of-form Forest side.
