Chelsea football club played out a fairly entertaining goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield in their most recent English Premier League game, but Chelsea supporters will be more pleased with that performance; the good news is that most of their injured first team players have returned to training sessions.
Chelsea's starting lineup will undoubtedly change at the start of February, with Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Wesley Fofana, and Ngolo Kante all taking part in training sessions over the last week.Chelsea will have a healthy team once the players regain match fitness, and the suspended Jao Felix returns from his three-match suspension at the beginning of February, and Mykhailo Mudryk is looking sharp after his weekend debut.
Twitter photos suggest that Mykhailo Mudryk could make an immediate impact in the Chelsea first team.
We've predicted a possible line that Chelsea fans might start to see as the second half of the season gets underway.

Of the Chelsea duo, an Italian journalist said:
“Hakim Ziyech and Loftus-Cheek have generated a lot of interest.
Hakim Ziyech and Ruben Loftus-Cheek likely to leave Chelsea?
Probably Ziyech. As mentioned, the 29-year-old will have to fight hard to earn a starting XI spot for Graham his Potter, especially if everyone is in shape. Journalist Simon Phillips also told GMS that Ziyech wants to leave Stamford Bridge, which is more than understandable. According to Transfermarkt, his start in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Liverpool was just his fourth of the season in the Premier League.
