Chelsea handed quadruple injury boost amid concerns over Cole Palmer and Joao Felix

Chelsea manager Alonzo confirmed Palmer, James, and Pedro have trained and are ready to return; Caicedo remains sidelined with a persistent calf issue.

Chelsea have received a boost ahead of the Premier League restart with manager Alonzo confirming that Cole Palmer, Reece James, and Joao Pedro have trained well and are ready to play. The three players missed international fixtures due to various injuries, with Palmer withdrawing from England's Nations League squad and Pedro pulling out of Brazil's squad after receiving treatment from a knee specialist. James missed England selection following hamstring issues. However, midfielder Moises Caicedo remains sidelined with a persistent calf problem that has limited him to just 14 minutes of action this season.
