Chelsea set for injury boost vs Leeds Utd?

Chelsea could get a timely injury boost ahead of the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds United at Wembley Stadium this weekend.

The Blues recently suffered their fifth-straight league defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion. This contributed to the departure of manager Liam Rosenior.

Chelsea will be determined to return to winning ways against Leeds and ahead of the game, they could be handed a timely boost on the injury front.

Cole Palmer missed the trip to Brighton with a minor hamstring issue, but he could be deemed fit in time to face the Whites in London on Sunday.

Interim manager Calum McFarlane will provide an update on his fitness in Friday's presser, but it is anticipated that Palmer will make the squad.

Similarly, Joao Pedro could be back in the ranks after missing the last two league matches against Manchester United and Brighton with a thigh issue.

He has been a huge miss in that time and should be back in the XI.
