Chelsea handed huge injury boost ahead of Borussia Dortmund as key trio take part in training

Chelsea have been handed a triple injury boost ahead of tomorrow (Tuesday) night's crunch Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund, with both Reece James, N'Golo Kante and Christian Pulisic in first-team training this morning.

James was absent from the weekend victory over Leeds United after feeling tightness in his hamstring during training last week. Head coach Graham Potter was confident, however, the academy graduate would be fit to return to the squad for the Round of 16 second leg.

The 23-year-old was involved with the first-team group and will be expected to start against the German giants. That Potter has hinted he will continue with a back-three system could result in James being deployed at right wing-back, a position he thrived in under Tuchel.
