Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has confirmed a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road.

The Blues were eliminated from the Carabao Cup after a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Arsenal in the semi-final. Their focus will now turn to the league where they are scheduled to face Wolves at the Molineux Stadium.

Ahead of the game, Rosenior has confirmed that Reece James and Pedro Neto will be absolutely fine after missing the trip to the Emirates Stadium yesterday.

The duo were surprise absentees against the Gunners during the second leg of the League Cup semi-final, but they are poised to return against Wolves on Saturday.

Chelsea are currently one point behind fourth-placed Manchester United, and need to beat Wolves to keep up the pace with the Red Devils for the last Champions League spot.

Fifth place could be enough to qualify for the competition too, but as things stand, the position is not guaranteed for the Premier League based on UEFA country co-efficients.
