The international break is over but Chelsea have a free weekend, since it's FA Cup quarterfinal weekend and we're, sadly, already out of that competition. So we're not back in action for several more days, until Thursday's derby against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.

But that's also a bit fortuitous in a way, as it gives time to players involved on international duty to fully re-acclimatize, and it gives us a few more days to recover some of our injured players as well. (And it gives us more days to prepare a specific gameplan as well, which we know Enzo Maresca loves to do.)

Case in point, according to reports today, both Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke are now back in training, following in the footsteps of Nicolas Jackson, who was spotted back earlier this week. That's three of our most important attacking players, if you're counting, without whom our attacking output has suffered greatly in the last few weeks.

Maresca likes to remind us that we were a free-scoring bunch earlier this season, so hopefully we can get back to that now that we're less affected by injuries.
