Caicedo & Joao Pedro fit for Benfica game?


Chelsea have been handed a double injury boost ahead of the Champions League clash against Benfica at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

The Blues have been disappointing since the last international break and they have picked up just one victory against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup third round.

The west London giants suffered a 3-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend and will be aiming to return to winning ways against Benfica.

Ahead of the game, they have received a timely boost with Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro involved in team training.

In his pre-match presser, manager Enzo Maresca said that the duo are injured and will need to be assessed.

However, they were spotted in the afternoon session with the team and could be involved in some capacity vs Benfica.

Maresca has the complete support from the hierarchy and they are prepared to stick with him for the rest of the season.

The Blues are only expected to part ways with Maresca if they are unable to make the top four in the Premier League.
