Chelsea will receive a massive boost ahead of Wednesday’s clash against Liverpool as star winger Willian could feature for Frank Lampard’s side.
The Blues were sent a harsh reality check on Sunday evening as fierce rivals Manchester United handed Chelsea a 4-0 drubbing at Old Trafford. It wasn’t the best of starts for life under Frank Lampard for Chelsea but the West London club has another stern test on their hands this Wednesday night as they prepare to face Liverpool in the UEFA Super Cup.
Willian missed the clash against Manchester United as he was still recovering from the Copa America with his Brazilian national squad. The 31-year-old was training alone and away from the rest of the Chelsea squad. There were reports that Willian was struggling with a few injury problems which were the reason why he has not taken part in any of the training sessions with the team.
But it seems that Willian is set to take part in the training sessions before the Liverpool fixture on Wednesday night. The star attacker has declared himself fit to return to action in Turkey against Jurgen Klopp’s men and after Lampard played a young side against Manchester United and got demolished, Willian’s experience can provide some much-needed balance for the Blues.
