Chelsea get double injury boost! Mauricio Pochettino provides fitness updates on Christopher Nkunku, Malo Gusto, Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah

The Chelsea manager confirmed that Malo Gusto and Christopher Nkunku will return for the match against Liverpool on Wednesday. Nicolas Jackson, if he's back in time from the Ivory Coast following Senegal's defeat by the hosts, may also be able to participate.

Talking to the media, the Argentine said: "I think it is good news, Malo Gusto and Christoph [Nkunku] can be in the squad for tomorrow. Travel with us, with the team, that is good news. We will see. We will wait for the last moment, but at the moment, yes, it's good news to have two players recovered. And to see maybe, why not, to arrive Nicolas Jackson for tomorrow and to be involved also in the game. If he can arrive."

He also talked about Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah's availability: "Colwill and Chalobah? No. Levi is out. He suffered a minor injury in his tendon. It's not a big issue but he is going to be out for tomorrow. Trevoh is really close. He is doing well. I think it's only a matter of time before he's going to be involved again. But he is doing really, really well."

Pochettino will be hoping that the return of Nkunku could boost his side's fortunes as they have lacked prowess in front of goal this season. Despite accumulating the second-highest xG in the Premier League, the club are the ninth top scorers in the division. Nkunku already opened his Premier League account in December before his most recent setback.

The Blues take on league-leaders Liverpool on Wednesday as they look to start catching up with the top six after a very slow start to the season that saw them in the bottom half for long stretches. They face an uphill task getting anything from the game, though, with Jurgen Klopp's Reds in fine form.
