Defensive duo fit for Blues

John Terry and Ashley Cole are set to be fit for Chelsea’s Premier League game at QPR tomorrow.

Both defenders have been in a race against time to shake off ankle injuries but have trained for the past three days.

Marko Marin (hamstring) will be forced to wait a little longer for his debut, while manager Roberto Di Matteo must decide whether to continue to rest fellow winger Juan Mata, who was given a complete break during the international window.

Provisional squad: Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Luiz, Cole, Bertrand, Mikel, Romeu, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Moses, Piazon, Torres, Sturridge, Turnbull.
