Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois back in Chelsea training
Thursday 30 March 2017 18:30, UK
Chelsea duo Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois have returned to training following injuries and could play in Saturday’s home game against Crystal Palace.
Playmaker Hazard, who has been linked with a £100m move to Real Madrid this week, withdrew from the Belgium squad for the international break having missed the Premier League leader's 2-1 win at Stoke with a calf injury.
Goalkeeper Courtois played in Belgium's World Cup qualifying draw with Greece but missed the friendly with Russia on Tuesday night and had treatment for a hip injury.
But the pair took part in training on Thursday as Antonio Conte stepped up preparations for Saturday's London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Antonio Conte's side enter this weekend's fixtures with a 10-point lead at the top of the table over Tottenham, who were the last team to beat them on January 4th.
The Blues have a crucial home game with Manchester City on Wednesday before travelling to Bournemouth three days later.
