Chelsea handed double injury boost for Sunderland game

Chelsea have been handed a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The Blues have had an up-and-down season. They recently returned to winning ways with a 2-0 league win over Manchester United.

The west London giants face the Black Cats next on the road. Ahead of the game, they have received a double boost on the injury front.

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was spotted back in training after his jaw fracture and could feature against Sunderland away wearing a mask.

Meanwhile, centre-back Aaron Anselmino has likewise returned to team training after injury and could make the matchday squad too.

The young Argentine was chosen for the upcoming internationals, which suggests that he has been deemed fit to return to competitive action.

The Blues are currently fourth in the standings with 16 points, eight adrift of Arsenal, who are top of the top-flight table after nine matches played.
