Defensive duo Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger returned to training for Chelsea ahead of the midweek game against Swedish outfit Malmo in the Champions League.
Both central defenders had been forced to sit out last weekend’s win away at Brentford with Rudiger nursing an injury while Silva’s late arrival from the Brazil fold made him unavailable for selection.
Tuchel, however, was in for a major boost on the injury front for his side with Rudiger and Silva taking part in team training on Monday in the build-up to Wednesday night’s game against Malmo at Stamford Bridge.
Reports from Chelsea’s official website confirm that both Rudiger and Silva were involved in training along with the rest of the Chelsea senior squad who are geared up to claim a win in their forthcoming outing at home turf.
The Blues had been handed a narrow defeat last time around in Champions League action by Serie A giants Juventus and Tuchel’s men will be backed to return to winning ways and get their European campaign back on track.
