Santos fit for Leeds

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has confirmed that midfielder Andrey Santos is fit for the Premier League clash against Leeds United at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.



The Blues have picked up fourth straight league wins under Rosenior's guidance and will be eyeing a fifth against the Whites at the Bridge on Tuesday night.

Ahead of the game, Rosenior has confirmed that Santos has recovered from a swollen ankle and will be available to face Daniel Farke's side.

He said: "Andrey trained today. He had a swollen ankle. But he's absolutely fine for tomorrow."

Chelsea are currently four points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool. The fifth position could be enough to qualify for the Champions League next season.

They have a brilliant opportunity to extend the gap to seven points before the Reds take on Sunderland, who are unbeaten on their home turf.

Alongside Santos, Cole Palmer has also been deemed fit to start. The Englishman bagged a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Wolves recently.
