Chelsea announces major boost ahead of Real Madrid clash

Chelsea have been significantly boosted ahead of their Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Frank Lampard’s side travel to the Spanish capital on Wednesday to face La Liga champions in the Champions League quarter-finals inside the Santiago Bernabeu.

They have now been boosted by the return of veteran defender, Thiago Silva and midfielders Mason Mount and N’Golo Kante from injury.

Thiago Silva will be hoping to play for Chelsea again, having been on the sideline since February over knee ligament problems.

Even if the legendary Brazilian does not play on Wednesday, his presence will be welcome at Cobham.

For Mount, the England international, alongside Frenchman Kante, both missed Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday..

Chelsea released a statement on Monday saying: “Raheem Sterling, Reece James, N’Golo Kante and Mason Mount all trained, with N’Golo and Mason missing the trip to Wolves altogether.

“Thiago Silva also returned to the grass.”
