Frank Lampard has delivered some important Chelsea injury news ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League encounter against Ajax.
The Blues head coach hasn't had the best luck with injuries this season, but that hasn't stopped his side from winning seven away games in succession across all competitions.
Although, Lampard would probably like the option to rotate his squad.
Ahead of the Group H encounter at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea squad were put through their paces at Cobham during a training session.
Among those present were N'Golo Kante, Ross Barkley and Andreas Christensen - all of whom missed Saturday evening's Premier League win over Watford at Vicarage Road.
However, Antonio Rudiger and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were absent.
Amid hope that the aforementioned trio could be available to face Ajax at Stamford Bridge, Lampard has revealed the latest injury news during his pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon.
And it's good news.
Kante is available, although Rudiger is set to miss out once again.
"He’s in the squad, so he’s fit in terms of… It looks nicely like the injuries and the few niggles he was getting have cleared up," Lampard confirmed. "And we’ve been able to get some work into him, it’s always a little bit stop-start before that.
"But yes he’s in the squad and available."
"Today [Rudiger seeing a specialist], so no news."
