Chelsea defensive duo expected to return vs Forest

Chelsea defensive duo Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo are expected to return to the matchday squad for Saturday's Premier League game at Nottingham Forest.

Fofana was sidelined before the international break due to concussion protocols. He has fully recovered from his minor setback and will be available for selection again.

Alongside him, Adarabioyo has also recovered from a minor injury and he is expected to be available for the trip. The Blues will fancy their chances of beating Forest on the road.

Ange Postecoglou's side are currently close to the relegation places and a defeat on Saturday could pave the way for the Australian's sacking.

Chelsea, on the other hand, need to build momentum on the back of a sensational 2-1 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge before the second international break of the season.

Aside from the above duo, Enzo Fernandez is poised to be fit for the game too. He suffered a knee injury scare on international duty, but is likely to be available to face Forest on Saturday.
