The international fixtures are done, the players are back training with their club team mates. Chelsea who had almost all of their squad members travelling with the Country teams, with just a couple of senior and young players left back have reason to rejoice as the Premier League leaders have a full squad available for their upcoming set of games.
Club legend and now retired Ivorian striker - Didier Drogba back training after a knee injury. Another player who has been out for a couple of weeks, Ramires joins the squad as Chelsea start to embark on a journey to the title.
With a fully fit squad and games coming thick and fast, we expect Mourinho to rotate and tinker with his squad game to game. Especially in the attacking department, with Diego Costa suffering from fatigue and a reoccurring injury, there is room for game time for the other two strikers as well.
Chelsea who travel to Crystal Palace on the 18th of October, are expected to play Diego Costa who has been on a song with his 9 goals in 7 English Premier League games. With the striker netting his first international goal for Spain, he is a sure starter. But the game after that, when Chelsea take on Maribor and later Manchester United there's is enough room for Mourinho to rest his key players and play his squad players who are as good as any.
A five point lead on the others, Chelsea would like to stretch it, or at least keep it intact. With a full squad to choose from, this shouldn't be tough for the boys in Blue who have shown tremendous form since the very first day of the season.
