In Chelsea's recent 2-0 victory over Burnley, the headline was not the scoreline, but the defender's sudden return to action. For weeks, the message from Stamford Bridge had been clear: Badiashile would be sidelined long-term.

He suffers from a muscle problem."

Barcelona have been handed a positive update on Alejandro Balde after he was forced off during Saturday's 4-0 win over Athletic Club. The left-back did not appear for the second half after taking a blow to the head in the opening 45 minutes, but Flick said after the game that Balde is well. "He's fine. We simply made the change as a precaution because the incident occurred just a few minutes before halftime," he explained.

Burnley head coach Scott Parker believes striker Armando Broja has managed to "dodge a bullet" and could be fit to face his previous club Chelsea.

Quilindschy Hartman has recovered from the illness which caused him to withdraw from the Netherlands squad during the international break.
