Chelsea will have their main man back and available for selection for the return of domestic action to Stamford Bridge on December 27. The Blues face newly promoted Bournemouth in their first match back after the World Cup and need to get off to a good start having lost four of their last five league fixtures.
The poor run of form has seen Graham Potter's side drop to eighth in the table, eight points behind Spurs in fourth place but with a game in hand. Ahead of matches against Manchester City and Liverpool in January though, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest offer a chance of picking up points before the pressure starts to mount once more.
Luckily for Potter he will be able to rely on perhaps the most important player in the squad as Reece James was confirmed as being available for the match. James has been out since early October after injuring his knee in the away win against AC Milan at San Siro.
