Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that four players will be returning from injury ahead of their clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Blues will host Spurs at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Thursday, April 3.

Chelsea have lost three of their last five Premier League matches. Their poor run of form has been attributed to injuries sustained by key attackers.

Maresca has been forced to deploy Pedro Neto as a makeshift number nine due to injuries to Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, and Cole Palmer.

Speaking ahead of the London Derby, the Italian tactician confirmed that the trio will return to action against Ange Postecoglou's side.

“Cole is back, he’s okay. He’s better. Noni is better. Nico is better. They are all good,” Maresca said in a pre-match press conference.
