Midfielder N'Golo Kante has passed a late fitness test to start for Chelsea as they take on Arsenal in the Europa League final in Baku.
The French international was rated as a 50/50 chance to feature for the Blues after struggling with a knee injury.
He spent much of the training session on Tuesday with a fitness coach and looked set to miss out.
However he was named in Maurizio Sarri's starting line-up to take on the Gunners.
Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who left the Blues for Monaco in January, has now admitted that starting him will be a risk but one they need to take.
He told BT Sport: "Well it is a risk definitely.
"He just came back from a hamstring injury. He could only train with the team for a couple of days and straight away he got a knock in his knee. He’s probably trying to tell the doctor how he’s feeling. He went the last three days without training.
"Yesterday he trained a little. This morning he woke up feeling a bit better so he will warm-up and see how he feels.
"He will, that’s why he’s trying. I believe he will because he’s a rock."
