Pre-Match Press Conference: West Brom (H)

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of Chelsea’s clash with West Brom at Stamford Bridge tomorrow, Blues boss Guus Hiddink has confirmed that his squad has been boosted as both Diego Costa and Loic Remy return to full-fitness.

Spanish international Costa limped off in the late stages of The Blues’ cup clash against League One Scunthorpe, and was tested over the past few days to see how fit he is.

For French international Loic Remy, a return has been coming for quite a while. The Former Newcastle United striker has been out for a number of weeks with several injury problems, but Dutchman Hiddink has confirmed to Chelsea FC that he has both strikers available at his disposal.
