Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino says Robert Sanchez is fit to face Manchester City.
And he may rush the goalkeeper into the starting XI.
The manager said: "Robert Sanchez is available. It is good news.
"Yes, it is always good to recover a player and he was playing a lot. To be available again is a good thing for the team.
"It's very good to be back. You never know in football what can happen. It is better to have all of the players available as soon as possible. If they are ready to play, we will decide to choose them."
