Chelsea have handed fans and incoming new manager Mauricio Pochettino a major injury boost ahead of not only the final three games of this season but also the next campaign.
Frank Lampard has had his hands tied to some extent with selection over the past weeks with several first team stars already ruled out for the remainder or close to the rest of the league season. Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic are all doubts to play again.
Armando Broja has been confirmed as out of action until next term following his knee injury picked up in December. It has left Lampard without a key group of players for a challenging run-in with trips to both Manchester sides and a final game at home to Newcastle still to come.
