Chelsea team news: Gonzalo Higuain ready for first game against Sheffield on Wednesday with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in contention



[ad_1]

Gonzalo Higuain could make his debut in Sunday's clash in the fourth round of the FA Cup with Sheffield at Stamford Bridge.

Higuain signed a loan from Juventus until the end of the season, with other options on Wednesday, but was not eligible for the semifinal success of the Carabao Cup, played Thursday against Tottenham.

Changes are likely, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek may be available due to a back problem, but Alvaro Morata should not be taken into account, an impending move, and Victor Moses left for Fenerbahce.
