Enzo Maresca is set to be handed a huge boost at the beginning of April when he expects several Chelsea players to return from injury.

“Reece comes in for Noni who of course isn’t with us today because he is injured. We play with full-backs to have one outside and one coming inside. Reece can do both roles so he gives us options and today he will try to help us with our gameplan,” the Chelsea manager explained.

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has a 100% chance of keeping his job for the rest of the season, despite the Blues' recent stretch of mediocrity, director Jonathan Goldstein said.

Chelsea look set to assess Trevoh Chalobah’s injury on Sunday, with manager Enzo Maresca appearing initially optimistic over the defender. Chalobah has been a regular Blues starter at centre-back since being recalled early from a productive season-long loan spell at Crystal Palace in January amid injuries to the likes of Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.
