Chelsea have been blessed to see six first-team players return from injury issues to be in the squad for the game against West Ham United.
Ahead of the match, Mauricio Pochettino spoke on this boost and explained: "Thiago is back and today he is in the starting XI. It is good news. We recovered some players on the bench also. They are not 100% to play and compete from the start, but it is good to have some senior players on the bench.
"It's going to be tough, West Ham had the whole week to prepare for the game, but we recovered so well and we are ready to compete after three days because everything was positive."
Chelsea can jump over Man United to seventh place in the Premier League with a win over the Hammers and boost their chances of securing European football next season.
