Havertz could be available for Arsenal showdown

Good news for Chelsea. Kai Havertz could return to action in the Premier League match against Arsenal on Tuesday. The Germany international injured his knee in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.

However, his manager Frank Lampard said at the pre-match press conference that he is not ruling out the 23-year-old for the game against the Gunners: "Havertz is in contention for the game, he's trained this week.

"We'll see who starts. I've got Auba, I’ve got Kai, I’ve got David Fofana. I'm not going to divulge the team but they're all fit and ready," he added.

"Possibly Auba's past with Arsenal might come into my thinking, because we all think a player going back to their old club gives a certain motivation. I haven't delved into that too much with Auba himself, so I'll pick that position on my feeling of how we've trained and what the team structure looks like."
