Full Chelsea squad revealed for West Ham clash amid Wesley Fofana hope and Raheem Sterling doubt


Chelsea return to Premier League today with another London derby at West Ham. The Blues come into the trip to the London Stadium on the back of three successive clean sheets.

Last week's 0-0 draw with Fulham was Graham Potter's side's second goalless stalemate in a row after they were held by Liverpool two weeks prior. Today's fixture gives Chelsea's January signings another opportunity to showcase their talents after struggling to break down Marco Silva's side last Friday.

Mykhailo Mudryk, Enzo Fernandez and Noni Madueke could start against David Moyes' side whilst Benoit Badiashile is expected to continue alongside Thiago Silva in defence.

There could also be the welcome return of centre-back Wesley Fofana. The former Leicester City man has been out of action since October but has returned to training with his teammates in training.

However, after making his return to Potter's side last time out, Raheem Sterling could be forced to miss today after picking up a knock in training. Speaking ahead of the game, Potter said: "Players are getting closer and closer. Wesley [Fofana] has been training with the team, Denis Zakaria has been training with the team.

"We've had a little setback with Raheem [Sterling] he had a little kick in training on the side of his knee, so we're assessing him and he is doubtful for tomorrow. Mateo [Kovacic] has trained with the team but it's too soon for him. But we've got some options."

The match will be screened on BT Sport and fans can watch the game by using a BT Sport monthly pass.

Here's the full squad available.

Goalkeepers: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Edouard Mendy, Marcus Bettinelli, Gabriel Slonina

Defenders: Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James, Thiago Silva, Benoit Badiashile, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marc Cucurella, Kalidou Koulibaly, Lewis Hall, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana
