Pochettino provides fitness update on Chilwell and Chukwuemeka

Mauricio Pochettino has spoken to the media ahead of Chelsea's clash with Brighton in the season's penultimate game and provided injury updates on two players.

"It was very good news last game to have many players back on track," said the Chelsea boss.

"Chilly is really close but he is not 100 per cent to make the squad. Carney Chukwuemeka, also.

"We need to assess both to see if they can be part of the squad."
