Massive double fitness update ahead of Tottenham v Chelsea showdown - report
By Dominic Toner
Chelsea pair Thibaut Courtois and Marcos Alonso are expected to be available for the FA Cup semi-final Tottenham on Saturday, according to a report.
The Daily Mail report that both senior players are in line to return for the Blues after missing the 2-0 defeat against Manchester United.
This represents a massive double fitness boost for Chelsea given how sorely they were missed at Old Trafford.
Goalkeeper Courtois missed the United loss because of an ankle injury he suffered during a photo-shoot for an NBA basketball promotion.
Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Alonso was ruled out through illness and they missed his presence on the left flank.
