Best of all, Estevao [is fit], <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chelseafc.com\/en\/teams\/profile\/jamie-gittens\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jamie Gittens<\/a> is back and that\u2019s really positive in terms of going into the run-in [of the end of the season].<\/p>\n<p>Our head coach was asked whether any of those players, specifically James or Chalobah, could be available to return to action for our next Premier League game, against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on April 12. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018With Reece and Trevoh, I don\u2019t know [in terms of a return date] yet,\u2019 added Rosenior. We work day to day and I don\u2019t want to give a timeline and [the players] not come through with that timeline.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We don\u2019t want to put pressure on those players working to come back, but what I will say is that they are all working really well at this moment.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n                &#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n                &#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; Liam Rosenior has provided the latest team news ahead of our FA Cup quarter-final&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510655,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-510654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
