John Terry should return to the Chelsea side for tomorrow's Barclays Premiership clash at Manchester City.
Terry has not played since being kicked in the head by Arsenal defender Abou Diaby in the Carling Cup final on February 25th.
Chelsea have no fresh injury worries following their weekend FA Cup quarter-final draw with Tottenham. Michael Essien collected a minor knock in that game but should be fit. Joe Cole (foot) remains their only long term absentee while Mikel John Obi is suspended.
City boss Stuart Pearce is also untroubled by injury concerns ahead of the Eastlands clash, but he is relying on the same set of players who have crumbled to five successive defeats as he battles to save his job.
Misfiring striker Bernardo Corradi is facing the axe but the options available to Pearce are limited with Paul Dickov - yet to score a goal this term - one of the potential replacements.
Man City squad:Weaver, Richards, Dunne, Distin, Ball, Trabelsi, Barton, Ireland, Beasley, Samaras, Corradi, Isaksson, Jihai, Dabo, Vassell, Hamann, Dickov, Sturridge, Mpenza, Miller.
Chelsea squad:Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Hedman, Ferreira, Geremi, Diarra, Carvalho, Essien, Terry, Bridge, A Cole, Lampard, Makelele, Ballack, Drogba, Shevchenko, Kalou, Wright-Phillips, Boulahrouz.
