Kai Havertz and Thiago Silva could Start for Blues against RENNES in France.

If results go our way tomorrow we could qualify from our group with two games to spare

Important game for our Blues from Bridge. We could see Havertz play after missing couple of game due to Covid positive and also T- Silva could start after passing fitness test .

Frank Lampard’s side are aiming to extend our unbeaten run to nine games since we were eliminated on penalties to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.

Christian Pulisic is stepping up his return from a hamstring injury. The American international has not been seen since pulling up in the warm-up before the 3-0 win against Burnley last month. It’s unlikely he’ll feature against Rennes but if he gets a full week’s training behind him, the winger may be back on the bench for Sunday’s clash versus Tottenham.

Hazard Struggling or Zidan Failing to Manage Real Madrid ?

The Belgian looked a bit off the pace in his first match back since testing positive for coronavirus. He bought some useful fouls for his team before being replaced in the 65th minute.

Poor performance. He is still a long way from the Hazard we saw the season prior to his arrival at Madrid. Although against Villarreal, he had an excuse because he has just come back from training in confinement after his coronavirus diagnosis.

KANTE HAS BEEN IN GOOD FORM AND GOOD SPIRITS IN RECENT WEEKS

With qualification in the bag, France now have a dead-rubber against Sweden in Paris tomorrow before attentions revert to the busy club campaign. Kante has been back to his best in a roaming destroyer role for Frank Lampard’s Blues in recent weeks and the team’s upturn in form has seen them win four consecutive matches in all competitions, conceding just once.

As a two-time Premier League champion, the 29-year-old knows what it takes to go the distance and has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates to maintain these standards throughout what promises to be a relentless winter.

‘The team has changed in recent years but the coach has been here for a year working together now,’ he added.

‘We’ve signed some new players and what we are trying to do is maintain Chelsea’s standards – win titles and be at the top nationally. We are well-placed at the moment and I hope we continue in this vein.’

Billy Gilmour’s Returns and gets Red Card

Billy Gilmour Chelsea youngster’s return from injury with Scotland U21s ends after 10 minutes as Gilmour was given his marching orders by referee Michael Fabbri.

He returned to training in recent weeks and made his official comeback as a second-half substitute against Croatia on Thursday night.

Gilmour has been sidelined since injuring his knee in the Blues’ pre-season win over Crystal Palace in July, undergoing surgery soon after ahead of a lengthy rehabilitation process.

The 19-year-old, who made 11 appearances for Chelsea last season, was selected by Scot Gemmill for Scotland Under-21s vital qualifier against Croatia, and introduced on the hour mark for his first professional action in over four months.

Frank Lampard will have been frustrated to see Gilmour get just 10 minutes under his belt before being handed his marching order.

Reece James Right-Back Competition

Reece James sits down with Josh Denzel to give his First Impressions since joining the senior squad, as he reveals who is the hardest to face in training, what he thinks of his FIFA 21 stats, his love for tea and the competition for the right-back spot.

After spending the 2018/19 season on loan at Wigan, James made a significant breakthrough under Lampard last season, benefiting from Chelsea’s transfer ban to rival Cesar Azpilicueta for a place in the starting line-up. Lampard’s decision to select a flat back four in his side’s recent victories over Burnley and Sheffield United has forced him into making a tough decision over who to select at right-back, but he has opted for James over the club captain.

The 20-year-old’s attacking qualities are second to none and his partnership with Hakim Ziyech is beginning to blossom, while James also credits the impact of Thiago Silva in helping him to improve the defensive side of his game.

Christian Pulisic’s injury woes

Pulisic missed the start of the season after suffering a hamstring problem in Chelsea’s FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal and returned at the start of last month, featuring against Crystal Palace, Southampton, Sevilla, Manchester United and Krasnodar. Another setback followed as Pulisic again went down with a hamstring injury in warm-up prior to Chelsea’s victory at Burnley and the 22-year-old missed the side’s two most recent games leading into the international break.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund star was included in Berhalter’s 24-man squad for USA’s upcoming friendly matches with Wales and Panama. ADVERTISEMENT Top articles by Metro Trent Alexander‑Arnold to miss six Liverpool games with calf injury

Asked about the question marks surrounding Pulisic’s fitness in seemingly every international break, Berhalter told ESPN: ‘I don’t see it like that. ‘I really see it as a young player who is just adapting to the demands of a different game, a different schedule. ‘When you get injured, when you have a muscle injury, it takes you a while to get fully fit and recover and this is part of his recovery process. ‘I have no doubt that he’s going to be a player that is fit for a very long period of time when he gets through this period.’

Frank Lampard will be hoping Pulisic avoids any fresh injury concerns, with games coming thick and fast for Chelsea both domestically and in Europe. After the international break, the Blues travel to Newcastle before facing Rennes for a second time in the Champions League.
