Chelsea is prepared to face Liverpool in their next Premier League action on Sunday as they seek to maintain their 100% record.
we bring to you the latest update on some the Blues players ahead of the upcoming match against the Reds.
Chelsea will welcome back two major new signings ahead of the clash against the Premier League Champions Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva.
Chilwell is joined Chelsea from Leicester City and he is back to training after he shook off a heel injury.
The 23-year-old joined the Blues with the injury but after doing some individual work at Cobham, he is now nearing full fitness.
It means Chilwell is in line to make his Chelsea debut against Liverpool during the weekend.
Silva trained with the rest of the squad during the week, he joined from PSG just like Chiwell he is in line to make his first debut for the Blues.
The 35-year-old Brazilian defender is a valuable addition to Chelsea porous backline, he is brought in to help stabilize the back on a short term basis.
Hakim Ziyech is expected to miss this cracker, the Moroccan attacker missed out the season opener against Bournemouth due to a knee injury he picked up in the pre-season game with Brighton.
Christian Pulisic is doubtful for the clash against the Reds, manager Frank Lampard decided to rest the attacker against Bournemouth in a bid not to risk him. He is a huge doubt for the clash against the defending Champions.
Scottish midfielder Billy Gilmour remains a long-term absentee from the senior squad.
It’s down to a knee operation he had to undergo earlier this summer following the win over Crystal Palace towards the end of last season.
