Chelsea Football Club host Morecambe at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon. The League Two club may be slightly overawed when playing at a massive arena in the famous capital. Indeed, the FA Cup is famed around the world for giving dream opportunities like this to lesser teams up and down the country. And no week serves up miraculous fixtures like the Third Round.
Incidentally, and happily for the west London outfit, CFC received a double boost before playing the Mazuma Stadium side. The recently revealed uplift regards injury news. Two important players will be available for selection and could perhaps make respective comebacks. But which Chels stars are fit once more? And just how crucial are the pair to Enzo Maresca's more pressing Premier League plan? The evidence is clear.
In addition to reporting and offering our views on that matter, we have more for CFC fans today! Startlingly, one Blues legend could apparently be set to play in the English top flight again. All will become clear imminently. So let's waste no time.
Fitness information on Reece James and Romeo Lavia
It's always great to have the captain back. Although, his importance to the club is contestable these days though only due to injury. James's talent remains undeniable. Meanwhile Lavia's untimely absence was certainly felt in central midfield of late.
Maresca has now confirmed both may feature versus Morecambe. If it were up to me, I wouldn't risk either crucial man from the start. I suspect we can expect the pair to be substitutes.
Ex-Chelsea midfielder coming back to Premier League?
Former Blue Nemanja Matic could be on his way back to England soon. The Serbian is the subject of transfer interest from Ipswich Town of all places. The 36-year-old was at Roma and Rennes but is currently with Lyon.
