[Photos] Chelsea Boost As Key Injury Doubt Trains Ahead Of Tottenham Clash
Chelsea have been handed a major injury boost after a key man was able to take part in training ahead of Wednesday night’s crucial showdown with Tottenham
Chelsea appear to have been handed a major injury boost after Marcos Alonso was able to take part in training yesterday ahead of Wednesday night’s crucial showdown with Tottenham Hotspur.
Alonso was considered as a doubt for the trip to White Hart Lane after requiring treatment on an ankle injury following Saturday’s 4-2 win over Stoke City at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Spaniard looks set to make a swift recovery and is expected to feature against Spurs after Alonso was snapped taking part in full training at Cobham on Monday afternoon.
The news will come as a huge boost to Antonio Conte as the full-back has established himself as a important first team player since arriving from Fiorentina in the summer with the 26-year-old starting every game since the switch to a 3-4-3 formation in early October.
Chelsea make the short trip across London looking for a win that would see them open up an eight point lead over second-placed Liverpool but defeat would allow Spurs to move within seven points and blow the title race wide open.
