starting line-up for Wednesday\u2019s Premier League clash with Brighton at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues have had a season blighted with injuries but were able to welcome their club captain back after five months out with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p>And James returned in style off the bench at the weekend, notching the assist for Nicolas Jackson\u2019s winner as Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s side came from behind to claim a 3-2 away win against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n<p>The Englishman will be keen to prove his fitness ahead of Euro 2024 and could be afforded a starting berth for Chelsea\u2019s penultimate game of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, the Blues emerged from the win at the City Ground with no new injury news and were able to give minutes off the bench to several key players who are returning from injury.<\/p>\n<p>Malo Gusto, Christopher Nkunku and Raheem Sterling may all now be pushing for a place in the starting line-up on Wednesday after their cameo appearances on Sunday, with the latter capping off his first minutes since returning from a minor back injury with his first goal since February.<\/p>\n<p>Levi Colwill, meanwhile, was an unused substitute for the second game since returning from a foot injury, with Pochettino preferring to stick with the partnership of Benoit Badiashille and Thiago Silva that has now helped his side claim back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n<figure class=\" img-container shareable-item wp-caption\" style=\"max-width:540px\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\"

Chilwell are unlikely to be fit in time for Wednesday\u2019s fixture.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton will be hoping to welcome back Joao Pedro to the squad after the Brazilian missed their 1-1 draw against Newcastle with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"post-strip trending-post-strip\" data-nosnippet=\"\" data-vars-type=\"trending-post-strip\" data-track-module=\"trending-post-strip_article\">\n<h3
