Defenders Ashley Cole and Gary Cahill have given Chelsea a boost by returning to training following their respective injuries.
Cole appears to have overcome a hamstring problem, while centre-back Cahill has been recovering from a knee injury.
They both took part in Friday’s session at the Blues’ Cobham training ground and have a chance of being in the squad for Sunday’s game against Liverpool.
The duo are due to train again on Saturday and a decision will then be taken on whether they are fit enough to be considered for the match at Anfield.
“Gary Cahill and Ashley Cole were training today, which is really positive,” said interim manager Rafael Benitez.
“It may be too early for them to play but we will see tomorrow and then we will decide.”
Marko Marin, who has been nursing a thigh problem, has also been able to train.
