Christian says he is ready for Chelsea match vs Everton

Chelsea defender and Denmark international Andreas Christensen has said he is ready to play against Everton on Sunday at Goodison Park.

Christensen has missed Chelsea’s past two matches owing to illness but returned to team training in the build-up to Sunday’s meeting with the Toffees.

The Dane is hoping to play for the Blues.

While his recovery was on course in midweek, the medical team decided it was best he didn’t make the trip to Manchester and instead focused on getting back to full health for Chelsea’s match vs Everton.

Following that decision, the defender is feeling back to his usual self and looking forward to helping the team once again.

‘I’m doing good and feeling fresh again after illness,’ he reported. ‘My energy levels weren’t there so we made the decision for me to stay at home but now I’ve recovered and feel ready for the weekend.

‘That was always the plan, to get some good sleep and get my energy levels up. Now I’m training with the team again and hopefully I’ll be fit enough to play.’
