Mauricio Pochettino is likely to have Mykhailo Mudryk back and available for Chelsea's match against Spurs on Monday night.
The Blues are returning to Premier League action after advancing to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, where they will face Newcastle United. Their upcoming opponents will be Ange Postecoglou's high-performing Tottenham in North London.
A victory for Spurs could see them return to the top of the league, while a win for Chelsea would propel them back into the top half of the table. Chelsea's head coach continues to grapple with injury concerns, but Reece James remains available for selection against Spurs, having returned last month from a hamstring injury.
Mykhailo Mudryk has returned to training in preparation for the game, having missed the Brentford match and the Blackburn win due to a minor injury issue. Pochettino is optimistic about the possibility of Armando Broja being on Chelsea's bench after a minor knee setback.
Benoit Badiashile made his first appearance of the season against Blackburn on Wednesday and is in contention to retain his place in the side. Thiago Silva will be eager to return to the starting lineup after being rested for the Carabao Cup match.
