Chelsea will be looking to continue our excellent recent home form, as well as banish the memories of Wednesday's painful defeat away at Liverpool, when Wolverhampton Wanderers are the visitors to Stamford Bridge for our next Premier League fixture on Sunday afternoon.

Ahead of that fixture Mauricio Pochettino evaluated the options available to him for the starting line-up, beginning in defense where there was an update on Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah, with mixed news on their recoveries from injury.

'I don’t believe Levi will be involved,' said Pochettino. 'Today he didn’t train, and we’ll see tomorrow. Asking me today, no, but tomorrow we’ll see his evolution.

‘Trevoh has trained really well. We will need permission from the medical team for him to have the possibility to be with the squad. At the moment, we don’t have permission, so we will see.’

At the other end of the pitch, our head coach responded to questions about the departure of Armando Broja to Fulham on loan and explained why he believes we still have plenty of options in attack, including the returning Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson.

'It’s a very good thing for Armando to have the opportunity to maybe play more. It’s a good move for him and I hope that he can take the opportunity.

'It’s important for us to recover Christoph and today Nico arrived back with us. Also, sometimes people forget but Deivid Washington is here with us. I think the options we have up front are enough.'

Jackson is back with Chelsea after representing Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations, making four substitute appearances as they reached the last 16, and Pochettino is expecting him to feature against Wolves.

'We need to assess Nico, today was his first training session with us. He didn’t play too much but was away for one month.

'That is why we have to assess him very well and not take any risks. But for sure he will be involved in the squad for Sunday if nothing happens tomorrow.'

One of the few positives from the midweek loss at Anfield was the return of Nkunku from injury, as the Frenchman came off the bench at half-time to score his second goal for the club.

While Mauricio is clear we need to manage his comeback carefully, his increased involvement could provide big boost for the Blues.

'It’s good to see him but also we need to anticipate things. 45 minutes was good, we wanted to work a little bit more after the game but he can’t. He didn’t because I think 45 minutes was enough for him and we need to analyse and assess him, to see if he can start the next game.

'That is all the circumstances, sometimes when we see the result of things we need to put it into context. I hope that he can cope with the demands of the game and he can play more than only 45 minutes.

'We need to keep working with him. After six or seven months always it is difficult for a player, but he is starting to show what he can do after playing 45 minutes. We can see he had one chance and he was capable to score a great goal and show his quality.

'We need take care of his situation, build his confidence and fitness step by step. He needs to work really hard to get to his best. Of course we’re happy with the way that he is helping the team now but we need to be careful in the way we are going to push him to get fit in the way that we expect.'

Another alternative could be to opt for an additional creative player in our attack, as in our last couple of matches when Cole Palmer took on an advanced role, although Pochettino explained the England international was not used as an out-and-out striker last time out at Liverpool.

'I think the place he started from the beginning is not important in the dynamic of the game,' added Pochettino.

'If you see the game he wasn’t a striker, he was playing like an offensive midfielder, sharing with Conor [Gallagher] in the first half. Then in the second half the number nine was Nkunku and he was like a third midfielder or an offensive midfielder.'

It seems there are still plenty of options to lead the line for the Blues at the Bridge on Sunday, though, as Pochettino ponders the best choice to help us bounce straight back by making it five home Premier League wins in a row when Wolves come to west London.
