Thomas Tuchel confirms two Chelsea stars in contention make injury return to face Leeds United
Thomas Tuchel has revealed that Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are in contention to return for Chelsea in time to face Leeds United, but stopped short of saying either would definitely make the trip.
Jorginho returned to training on Monday morning at Cobham after players had also been called into training on Sunday rather than being provided with the usual day off following Saturday's draw against Wolves. The Italian midfielder missed the match against Bruno Lage's side after needing to be substituted against Everton at Goodison Park when he picked up an injury.
Kante last started for the Blues against Manchester United at Old Trafford but picked up an injury during the draw and has been unable to make a squad since. However, Chelsea's German coach highlighted there would be an opportunity he could make the trip north.
