Chelsea receive injury boost ahead of Tottenham clash, as star set to be passed fit

Chelsea are set to face Tottenham on Saturday and the Blues are handed an injury boost, as Andreas Christensen is expected to be passed fit. The 23-year-old defender was forced off in the defeat to Manchester United on Monday night with a broken nose, and obviously there were doubts over his availability in another clash. The Dane  has made 17 appearances so far this season and has established himself in Frank Lampard’s starting XI, having been named in the line-up for the last five consecutive Premier League games. And Blues boss will perhaps be keen to avoid being forced into any reshuffle at the back and will have been hoping that Christensen would be fit to play against Tottenham. As  The Athletic report, Christensen has declared himself available for the all-important showdown as he has had a special face mask fitted to protect his nose, and having trained with it on Thursday, it is now suggested that he will be available this weekend. It's not clear yet, if the defender will be fully comfortable to play with the mask, however, it’s a huge boost in itself that the defender has put himself in contention to face Spurs.
