Chelsea get injury boost ahead of Carabao League final vs Liverpool

Chelsea have been handed an injury boost ahead of their weekend game vs Liverpool in the Carabao League final at Wembley Stadium.

This comes as the latest report revealed that Reece James has rejoined the Blues in training ahead of the game vs Liverpool on Sunday.

The 22-year-old had been ruled out since the end of December after he suffered a torn hamstring against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.

According to the latest report, it revealed that James, having undertaken almost a month of individual work at Cobham, has finally been cleared to rejoin first-team training.

James was spotted in the Blues training on Thursday and is likely to feature for the Blues against Liverpool on Sunday, at least from the bench.

Another player that is likely to feature for Chelsea against Liverpool is Callum Hudson-Odoi, who has missed the Blues’ last two matches due to a sore Achilles.

The report claimed that there is an expectation the 21-year-old will be available to face Jurgen Klopp’s side.

It is yet to be known if Thomas Tuchel will start Romelu Lukaku against the Reds, having left him on the bench in their 2-0 win vs Lille in the UCL.
