Thibaut Courtois returns as Chelsea host Bournemouth

Chelsea will have goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois back from injury for the Premier League match against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgium international has missed the last four games due to an ankle problem, with Willy Caballero deputising.

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas will also be in contention after recovering from a hamstring issue but defender David Luiz (ankle) has joined forwards Willian (hamstring) and Alvaro Morata (back) on the sidelines.

Bournemouth will again have Joshua King and Junior Stanislas available for selection.

Both have recovered from injury in time to strengthen Eddie Howe’s attacking options, with Jermain Defoe still absent having fractured his right ankle.

Defender Tyrone Mings will again miss out, owing to a back injury.
