Chelsea vs Watford - Loftus-Cheek expected to be fit for Blues match against Watford
Posted Saturday, May 04, 2019 by PA
Ruben Loftus-Cheek should be fit for Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Watford on Sunday.
The England midfielder was withdrawn in the latter stages of Chelsea’s 1-1 Europa League semi-final first-leg draw at Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, but head coach Maurizio Sarri put that down to cramp.
Chelsea will assess Gary Cahill, who missed the Frankfurt trip with an Achilles tendon problem, but fellow defender Antonio Rudiger (knee) and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles) are long-term absentees.
The Hornets will welcome back captain Troy Deeney from a three-game suspension for the Stamford Bridge contest.
Midfielder Etienne Capoue is set to miss out because of a groin problem picked up in the defeat to Wolves.
Defender Miguel Britos is also unavailable after having a wisdom tooth out, while Sebastian Prodl (knee) and midfielder Domingos Quina (shoulder) continue their rehabilitation.
