Chelsea injury news: Double boost for Blues ahead of clash with rivals Tottenham | OneFootball

Both Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke have been involved in Chelsea training ahead of their clash with rivals Tottenham.

Palmer was forced to withdraw from the England squad because of a muscular issue but has returned to training with the team.

The attacking midfielder missed the defeat to Arsenal with the injury but is in line for a possible return when Chelsea host Spurs next Thursday.

Winger Madueke has also been back in training following his hamstring injury.

The 23-year-old has been absent since last month after being forced off in the Premier League defeat to Brighton but is also nearing a return to action.

It comes after Chelsea confirmed striker Nicolas Jackson was also back in training this week following his spell on the sidelines.

The forward has also been suffering with a hamstring injury which has kept him out for over a month.

Before injury, Jackson had scored nine in 24 appearances in all competitions this season but had not netted since the home victory over Brentford on December 15.

He too is nearing a return to action though as he looks to return to goalscoring form and help Chelsea to secure Champions League qualification.

It means Enzo Maresca is close to having a near fully fit squad to choose from again.

Marc Guiu is another who has been injured, also battling a hamstring problem but it is hoped he will be back before the end of the season.

Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended while they await the results of the B sample from his failed drugs test, meanwhile.

But Wesley Fofana, Reece James and Romeo Lavia are among those to have returned of late meaning Chelsea look in a strong position to return to Champions League football next season.

They face another of their London rivals in Brentford following the game against Spurs before travelling to Legia Warsaw in the first-leg of their Conference League quarter-final.
