"Estevao is back on the pitch, but he is not quite ready for this one. He just needs to clear a few more markers first, and we need to be careful with him given he's had a hamstring injury. It will be a big boost to have him back with the group."
"Romeo Lavia is doing very well and he's ready to go [from the start]. I'm delighted for him and he will definitely play a part tomorrow. He will play a big part for the rest of the season and his attributes will help us."
"Jamie Gittens is getting really close [to a return] and he had a really positive scan. We hope that he can be back with the group within the next seven days or so."
Chelsea faces a Championship side in a quarter-final match on Saturday before competing in Champions League action against Paris Saint-Germain midweek. Manager Liam Rosenior confirmed squad rotation plans. Wingers Estevao and Jamie Gittens are recovering from hamstring injuries but unavailable for this fixture, though both are progressing well. Estevao has returned to training but needs additional recovery time. Gittens had a positive scan and should rejoin the group within seven days. Midfielder Romeo Lavia will feature after four months sidelined with a quad injury, making only two substitute appearances recently. Liam Delap has fully recovered from his hamstring injury and is ready for opportunities in upcoming matches.
