Thomas Tuchel has delivered an update on the fitness of the Chelsea squad ahead of their trip to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Hakim Ziyech, Trevoh Chalobah and Thiago Silva all missed the FA Cup fifth-round win over Luton Town in midweek but were pictured in training at Cobham on Thursday.
Second-half goals from Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku helped the Blues come from behind twice to beat the Hatters 3-2 and book their place in the quarter-finals.
Tuchel has now confirmed the absent trio should be available for selection again. But there was more concerning news regarding Cesar Azpilicueta.
“No fresh injuries. I still have to talk to the fitness coaches and doctors after this press conference. Azpi (Cesar Azpilicueta) was not in training yesterday so this will be a bit too close unfortunately for him.
"Hakim (Ziyech) was in training, seemed good so hopefully he can come back. Reece James did training yesterday so no problems so far, no reactions after his two matches. It’s good.
"The guys who were not with us in Luton Town because of minor injuries – Trevoh (Chalobah) and Thiago (Silva) – were back in training yesterday and seem good to go.”
The Blues were drawn against Middlesbrough in the last eight of the competition but focus will now revert back to the Premier League and the trip to Turf Moor.
Tuchel will be eager to keep morale around the club up after the news of Roman Abramovich's decision to sell the club broke earlier this week.
During his press conference, he also offered some more detail on what has happened at the club since the news emerged, including talks with Petr Cech.
“We had a briefing from Petr (Cech) after the Luton match. He gave everyone in the building a quick brief, explained the situation – it wasn't too much different from what we already knew.
"We have to live with this situation and it does not make sense to worry too much. We don’t have a lot of influence, not to say no influence at all, but that was the bottom line.
"We are allowed to focus on football and we do our best to focus on football. It was not only the team [who Cech spoke to], it was the complete staff.

"What we try to do is to create an atmosphere where you feel safe once you enter the building, where you feel calm because we do this on a daily basis. This can help now to deal with the situation. There is uncertainty, of course, and all humans – there are 100 people in the building – everybody will feel different about it.
"Some will feel scared, some excited, some will feel sad. I think everything is allowed for every individual but we can and should allow ourselves to focus on what we love the most and this is football and to perform the best way possible.
"What makes me very positive is we did twice in these circumstances against Liverpool and against Luton Town; very focused, very good performances. The organisation was like always: spot on.
"This makes me very positive that we are able to compete tomorrow. This is also what we demand from ourselves.”
