Could Tiemoue Bakyoko defy the odds and feature for Chelsea sooner than we all expected? Perhaps.
Twitter user @Gemzy_01 tweeted the below photo. The chat he has screenshotted is a conversation with Bakayoko’s brother, during which he claims that the Frenchman could be fit to feature against Tottenham at the weekend.

With Cesc Fabregas suspended, and Antonio Conte only having N’Golo Kante at his selection, having Bakayoko available would be a major boost in Chelsea’s chances of bouncing back from the Burnley defeat.
