What Mateo Kovacic did in Chelsea training to hint at potential shock Everton inclusion

Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic was looking fresh and skillful in Blues training ahead of a potential surprise Everton inclusion.

Thomas Tuchel's side go into Sunday's encounter against Everton with third place nearly secured after the point picked up at Old Trafford in midweek. It was a draw between two English giants who both had key players out, Man United more so, therefore meaning it wasn't two full-strength teams on show in the battle of German managers.

Despite the disappointment felt in only the solitary point taken from a winning position on Thursday night, all attention seemingly was trying to build up some good form on the pitch ahead of the impending FA Cup final against Liverpool. Tuchel will be hoping for the likes of Kovacic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Andreas Christensen and even potentially Ben Chilwell to return to the fold in time for the May 14 grand showpiece.
