Delivers assist in win
Gusto delivered one assist to go with two chances created in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.
Analysis: Gusto was all over Chelsea's buildup in this one, winning the corner that led to Jorrel Hato's opener and then whipping in a dangerous ball from the right that Tosin Adarabioyo buried for the fourth goal in the 57th minute. He closed with two chances created and one interception across 85 minutes before coming off late, turning in a steady shift down the right side. Gusto had been capped at one half in each of his previous two appearances for the Blues, but after featuring for France and then going nearly the distance Saturday, he looks fully back to full fitness.
Clears illness
Gusto trained fully in recent days and is an option for Saturday's clash against Everton, according to the club.
Analysis: Gusto was back in full training over the past few days and is set to be available for Saturday's clash against Everton, giving the Blues a major boost at the right time. He has been a locked-in starter all season, consistently holding down his role in the lineup. With Reece James (hamstring) sidelined by an injury, his return comes at a crucial moment and should play a big part in stabilizing the back line over the upcoming fixtures.
