Chelsea Team News: Conte Confirms Double Fitness Boost Ahead Of Swansea

Chelsea will look to tighten their grip at the top of the Premier League table when they entertain Swansea City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon. 

Ahead of the game, Antonio Conte has been speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference this afternoon and he’s given reporters a team news and injury update.

The Blues boss was pleased to reveal his squad have a clean bill of health with the Italian coach confirming that all his players are fit and available for selection this weekend.

It means that Thibaut Courtois has recovered from a bout of gastroenteritis that ruled the goalkeeper out of last weekend’s FA Cup victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Asmir Begovic deputised between the sticks at Molineux last weekend but Courtois is expected to get an instant recall between the sticks tomorrow despite the Bosnian international keeping a clean sheet last time out.

In a double boost, it looks as though David Luiz has been passed fit this weekend despite on-going concerns over a knee injury that’s plagued him since way back in October.

Luiz hurt his knee following a challenge by Man City’s Sergio Aguero and he’s been managing the pain in recent months but luckily for Chelsea it’s not affecting his performances so the Brazilian international is set to return to the starting eleven tomorrow after being rested last weekend.

On team news for tomorrow, Conte says everybody is fit and available. #CFC
