Graham Potter has been handed several boosts ahead of Chelsea's tie with Southampton in the Premier League. The Blues are set to welcome the Saints to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon, February 18, as they look to return to winning ways.
While the west Londoners lost to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16 first-leg, a number of key players took huge steps towards making their return. Mateo Kovacic, Denis Zakaria and Wesley Fofana all featured on Chelsea bench at the Signal Iduna Park after having nursed their respective injuries.
While the trio didn't feature, they look set to be available to Potter in the coming weeks. And, what better time to be drafted into the Blues lineup when the club are in desperate need of a catalyst to improve performances.
