Three things spotted in Chelsea training ahead of West Ham clash as Kovacic and Zakaria return

Chelsea have been hard at work training ahead of their London derby against West Ham this weekend. The Blues sit ninth in the Premier League table and are hoping to pick up a crucial win against the Hammers after going three games unbeaten.

Joao Felix is set to be available for selection once again after serving his three-match suspension. The Portuguese forward was sent off on his debut against Fulham back in January after arriving on loan from Atletico Madrid until the end of the season.

Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling returned to the matchday squad for the 0-0 draw against Fulham last week. Mateo Kovacic and Denis Zakaria have now boosted Graham Potter's options further after returning from injury and taking part in full training.
