Mason Mount is also back after a brief spell out, although the England international is unlikely to start in the first place.

According to Football Insider, the Blues could sell both Mount and midfielder Mateo Kovacic this summer to ease concerns about Financial Fair Play. Since taking the helm of the club last summer, boss Todd Boehly has splashed out more than £500m on 16 new signings.

The report claims the club will have to sell players this summer to fund new signings and they hope to sell the midfield duo for £100m.
