Cucurella, Silva, Badiashile - Latest Chelsea injury news ahead of Liverpool Carabao Cup final
Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping to welcome Thiago Silva back into the Chelsea squad for Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. The experienced defender went off injured in the win against Crystal Palace earlier this month but he could return for the Blues' biggest game of the season so far this weekend.
Pochettino has seen his squad depleted by injuries on numerous occasions this season, but he finally looks to be getting a core group of players back to full fitness.
