Suffers hamstring injury
Gittens was not an option for Saturday's 7-0 win over Port Vale due to a hamstring injury, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Unfortunately, Jamie, in training yesterday, picked up what looks like a hamstring injury again. We have to scan him and make sure. It's a real shame for him; I think it's the third time it's happened. We need to help him, and we need to make sure he's okay. I can't give you a time frame on that at the moment."
Analysis: Gittens was expected to be an option for Saturday's FA Cup match after shaking off a hamstring injury, but has instead suffered a setback, with the forward injured during Friday's training. This will leave the forward out for another week at least, as the club is set to go through some scans and take the return cautiously after his recent setback. However, this remains a brutal spell for the player, having not played since January due to injury.
Available against Port Vale
Gittens (hamstring) returned to full training and is available for Saturday's clash against Port Vale in the FA Cup, according to coach Liam Rosenior. "Jamie is back and that's really positive in terms of going into the run-in [of the end of the season].
Analysis: Gittens has been sidelined for two months with a hamstring injury, but getting back into full team training sessions puts him right back in contention for the final stretch of the season. The attacker will slot back into a rotational role behind Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order, but his return adds valuable depth to Chelsea's attacking options as the club pushes through the final weeks of the campaign.
