Chelsea handed big injury boost for Pafos clash

Chelsea have been handed a big injury boost ahead of the Champions League clash against Pafos at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

The Blues recently returned to winning ways with a 2-0 victory over Brentford in the Premier League, and will be eyeing a similar outcome midweek.

Ahead of the European meeting versus Pafos, they have received a welcome boost with Gusto back in training after a minor injury setback.

The Frenchman has been sidelined for the past few outings, but he was back working with his teammates and could be involved on Wednesday.

Chelsea are 13th in the league phase of the European competition, two points behind eighth-placed Atletico Madrid for an automatic last 16 spot.

They may have to win both of their remaining matches against Pafos and Napoli to qualify for the last 16 and avoid a knockout play-off round.

Blues boss Liam Rosenior is expected to name a strong starting XI on Wednesday with Cole Palmer and Reece James poised to start.
