Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has confirmed that the duo of Estevao Willian and Liam Delap will be available to face Aston Villa in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Delap has recovered from a shoulder injury he sustained during the draw with Bournemouth on December 6 when it seemed the £30 million ($40.5 million) striker could be set for a lengthy lay-off.
The return of Estevao, who has not played since coming on as a late substitute in the December 13 win over Everton, also bolsters Maresca’s options.

In a chat with the club’s website, Maresca stated that the pair are in contention to face Aston Villa after Christmas.
“He’s back. He’s back, he’s available for Saturday, him and also Liam Delap.
“We didn’t know exactly for how long he (Delap) needed to be out, but as I said, he’s available for Saturday, he’s available also Estevao, so very happy for both.”
