Graham Potter will be hoping that yet more of his first team stars can return to matchday fitness over the international break after Chelsea were able to slowly bed in a group of recovering players in the weeks before the fortnight away.
Included in that category are N'Golo Kante, who has remained in England, but also Christian Pulisic. The American was called up for USMNT after making two substitute appearances and a first start since January 5, the next step for him is to ensure that game sharpness comes quickly.
Elsewhere Potter will be keen to see Reece James wrapped in cotton wool on England duty as the wing-back sets about being up to full speed when the Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid comes around in mid-April.
