With midfielder Enzo Fernandez and centre-back Axel Disasi both back in training, Chelsea prepare for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

Both missed Chelsea's 6-0 win over Everton with a variety of problems, but it was spotted in Wednesday's training photos and Disasi even set up a new haircut for Saturday's trip to Wembley. Fernández's health has been a major topic of discussion on social media after Argentine media outlet Sports Show reported that the 23-year-old needed surgery for abdominal problems.

Discussions about Fernandes' potential abdominal problem have been common for months, with the midfielder reportedly considering surgery after the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

Robert Sanchez, Raheem Sterling, Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana, Reece James, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku and Leslie Hugochukwu also missed the game against Everton through injury, and manager Mauricio Pochettino is unlikely to field many players against Pep Guardiola's side.

Raheem Sterling has been battling a back injury but was out of training ahead of the Everton game due to illness and Pochettino confirmed that a further medical must be underway before the winger returns to the group. Goalkeeper Alexis Sanchez is also unwell but could be back soon, but Pochettino is not expected to have many faces to return ahead of Saturday's game.

While left-back Ben Chilwell will be hoping to start after coming off the bench, the boss may not be willing to make too many changes against Everton as it could be his best performance so far in his Chelsea tenure.
