Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino hopes that Reece James will be available against Tottenham on Monday.
The Premier League rivals are set to renew their hostilities, with Spurs top of the table.
As Chelsea look to move up from 11th, Pochettino hopes he can count on James and young striker Armando Broja.
I don't know," conceded Pochettino on James starting the game.
We'll see first of all if he is available and then if my decision is to play with him from the start.
He was okay after playing an hour against Blackburn. I think it was good for him to start the game and to feel him there again after a few months for the team, because he is our captain and he is a very important player. Now we need to assess him, if he's ready or not to start on Monday."
He added on Broja: It's good because today we were talking and maybe he will be available to be on the bench for Monday.
He was training today and before in the last few days, and doing well. I hope that he can be involved in the game, but still it's not confirmed."
