Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Enzo Fernandez, Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia have all returned to Chelsea training ahead of the trip to West Ham, The Standard has reported.

The newspaper shared on 16 September that the quartet will help the injury crisis in midfield that had hit at Stamford Bridge in recent weeks.

Enzo Maresca will now have several options to choose from ahead of the Premier League showdown at the London Stadium on Saturday 21 September.

Chelsea injury news v West Ham United

Over the last few weeks, West Ham have found themselves in something of a rut. The Hammers had a fairly exciting transfer window but Julen Lopetegui hasn't yet started all his new arrivals.

The Spaniard has instead insisted to continue using players such as Konstantinos Mavropanos and Michail Antonio despite their form being below par every week.

Jean Clair-Todibo is one new signing who could get his first Premier League start against Chelsea, with his Greek teammate at fault once again at Fulham.

This game against Chelsea may not be the most important of their season but if they can manage to get a result out of the game, it'll no doubt boost their confidence and perhaps even kickstart a run of form.

Lopetegui's men need to step up their game soon otherwise things could get quite sticky at the London Stadium.
