Southampton vs Chelsea FC - Steven Davis facing fitness test ahead of Chelsea clash
Posted Friday, April 13, 2018 by PA
Steven Davis will face a late fitness test ahead of Southampton’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday.
The Northern Ireland midfielder is battling an Achilles problem to be fit in time to face Antonio Conte’s side at St Mary’s Stadium.
Jan Bednarek could make his top-flight debut for Saints, with defender Jack Stephens starting a three-match suspension.
Ross Barkley is available for Chelsea after recovering from injury.
His availability means that David Luiz and Ethan Ampadu, owing to respective long-term knee and ankle injuries, are their only absentees.
Gary Cahill is also expected to retain his place, having come in for Andreas Christensen for last week’s 1-1 draw with West Ham.
