Eden Hazard and N'Golo Kante are likely to return on Sunday after manager Maurizio Sarri rotated his squad in the Europa League.

Sarri has no apparent injury concerns, with defender Antonio Rudiger and striker Gonzalo Higuain also expected to be recalled following Thursday's 3-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev.

Thursday's goalscorer Pedro could retain his starting spot on Sunday, but fellow winger Callum Hudson-Odoi may have to settle with a place on the substitutes' bench.

Wolves

Rui Patricio will return for Wolves at Chelsea, manager Nuno Espirito Santo has confirmed.

The goalkeeper was replaced by John Ruddy in Saturday's 2-0 win over Cardiff to give Ruddy game time before next week's FA Cup quarter-final with Manchester United.

But the Portugal international will be in goal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

"It was very clear. The decision was made and I was very clear in my intention," the Wolves boss confirmed.

"I was pleased because John performed very well. John was very confident and he was very stable, which is what we were looking for.

"Now we play Chelsea, we focus on this game."

Uefa backs Utd VAR penalty decision

Uefa has backed the video assistant referee system's decision to award Manchester United an injury-time penalty that knocked Paris St-Germain out of the Champions League.

Diogo Dalot's shot hit Presnel Kimpembe's arm but was only deemed a spot-kick after the VAR intervention.

Injured PSG forward Neymar called the decision a "disgrace".

But Uefa said the distance the ball covered was "not short" and Kimpembe's arm was "not close" to his body.
