Graham Potter has been handed a huge boost ahead of Chelsea's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund. The German outfit are set to welcome the Blues to the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday evening as either side vies for a place in the quarter-final.
With the west Londoners ten-points adrift of fourth-place in the the Premier League, qualification to the tournament next term via domestic competition looks unlikely. Unless Chelsea can drastically transform their fortunes, they will be eager to do everything it takes to bypass Dortmund.
Mateo Kovacic is said to be one of the several Blues players set to be available again soon. Raheem Sterling was expected to return some time this month but he picked up a knock in training, extending his absence.
