Chelsea have been handed three huge boosts ahead of their clash with Real Madrid. Los Blancos will welcome Frank Lampard's side to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg.
Speaking to in his pre-match press conference, the Blues' interim boss declared that Thiago Silva, Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante have all nursed their respective knocks and are now available for selection in the Spanish capital. The club's abundance of injuries appear to be a thing of the past – although Lampard has even more players to choose from now.
The return of Silva will be huge for the west London outfit, who have struggled to keep goals out of the net since his absence. And, if Lampard can get a tune out of Mount then Chelsea suddenly look well positioned to launch an attack on Carlo Ancelotti's side.
