“He could be in the squad” – Xabi Alonso has great injury news at the right moment for Chelsea

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso announced that defender Aaron Anselmino could return to the squad following a lengthy injury spell. Anselmino returned to full training over the past ten days and may be included in the matchday selection after central defender Maxence Lacroix suffered an injury.

Anselmino has not played a minute for Chelsea this season due to recurring fitness issues. Alongside his potential club return, the Argentine defender received a call-up to the Argentina national team, with Alonso expressing hope that international minutes will aid his match fitness.
