Fabregas passed fit to return against Villa

Cesc Fabregas has been passed fit for Chelsea’s trip to Aston Villa but Filipe Luis remains sidelined.

Blues midfielder Fabegas missed last weekend’s draw with Manchester City after picking up a hamstring injury during the recent Capital One Cup semi-final victory against Liverpool.

Fabregas has returned to full training but left-back Luis is still struggling with an ankle injury he suffered against Liverpool and is unavailable.

Chelsea will also be without the suspended Diego Costa, while new signing Juan Cuadrado is in contention to make his debut.
