Levi Colwill and Christopher Nkunku have returned to training, but will not be able to play against Tottenham Hotspur.

Chelsea will face Tottenham in the 26th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Stampford Bridge in London, England at 3:30 a.m. on the 3rd (Korea time).

For Tottenham, it is a must-miss game. Currently, Tottenham is fiercely competing for fourth place, and even if it secures all three points in the remaining games, it cannot rank fourth on its own. It played two fewer games than its "competitor" Aston Villa, but there is a seven-point gap. In addition, Tottenham faces powerful opponents such as Liverpool and Manchester City, so it is safe to say that if they lose against Chelsea, their chances of reaching fourth place will disappear.

Fortunately, Chelsea is different from Chelsea in the past. After Todd Boehly became the owner of the club last season, Chelsea has yet to display competitiveness. It is currently ranked ninth in the league and has lost all three of its official matches recently.

Tottenham also has good news. Chelsea's key players will not be able to play. Chelsea is in the injury ward. Fortunately, Colwill and Nkunku have returned to training recently, kicking off their return to action.

However, he is highly likely to miss the match against Tottenham. Mauricio Pochettino explained the reason. Speaking before the press conference, he said, "They are in training. Today we usually prepare for the match for tomorrow. We did set pieces, tactical work, meetings, etc. We are almost there. They are on the line, but they are not over the line yet. We hope they will play against West Ham United on Sunday."

Chelsea have too many other injuries. Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Marlo Gusto, Ben Chilwell, Enzo Fernandez, Reece James, Leslie Ugochuku, Canny Chukwuemeka, Thiago Silva, Axel Disasi, Raheem Sterling and Robert Sanchez will be absent.

Nevertheless, Tottenham cannot let its guard down. Tottenham did well in the early days of the season, and the team put the brakes on Tottenham. In the last showdown, Tottenham suffered a 1-4 defeat to Chelsea as two players were sent off and two key players were injured.
