Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic is back in training ahead of the Blues’ clash with Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.
Kovacic picked up an injury while on international duty with World Cup finalists Croatia. He missed his country’s clash with England at Wembley as a result, but it looks as though he’ll be fit to feature at the same stadium on Saturday evening.
As Maurizio Sarri’s preparations for this weekend’s big game begin at Cobham, Kovacic has been pictured in full training with the squad. See the below photo…
It’s unclear at this point whether Kovacic will be selected ahead of Ross Barkley for the fixture, but the more options we have at our disposal for such an important game, the better.

Considering this is one game where we will not be dominating possession as we usually do, it wouldn’t surprise us if Sarri went for Barkley as an added goal threat. We shall see!
