Sanchez (strain) is expected to train on Tuesday and could be back available for Wednesday's clash against Fulham, interim coach Calum McFarlane said in the press conference. "Yes, they are all training today. We are training in a few hours, and they will all be taking part in the session today. We will have a better idea [on availability] after the session. But at this point, nobody is ruled out. We will look at training, see how the guys look [after the session] and then make a call after that."

Sanchez missed the last game against Manchester City due to a muscular injury but is expected to train on Tuesday and will undergo a late fitness call after the training session ahead of Wednesday's clash against Fulham. If Sanchez can't make the squad against the Cottagers, Filip Jorgensen is expected to start again between the posts for the Blues.
