Antonio Conte has confirmed he has a fully fit squad for the visit of Everton this weekend - apart from Eden Hazard, who still lacks match fitness.
The Chelsea manager said Hazard is continuing to improve following surgery on his ankle this summer, but will be unavailable for the Blues' Premier League match against Everton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
"The only player not fully fit is Hazard," Conte said on Friday at Chelsea's training base at Cobham.
"He is improving and today he is playing with the Under-23s against Everton."

Hazard has not featured for the champions since hurting his ankle in a training session with the Belgium national team earlier this summer, but was earlier on Friday called up to the Red Devils' squad for their upcoming games against Gibralter and Greece.
While the winger will not play any part in the game against Ronald Koeman's men this weekend, Cesc Fabregas will return from a one-match suspension although captain Gary Cahill remains out.
The defender was sent off for a straight red card challenge in Chelsea's opening match of the league season, which ended in a 3-2 loss for the hosts.
After missing the London derby against Tottenham last Sunday, Cahill will also have to sit out the game with Everton on Sunday as well as the trip to Leicester City on Saturday 9 September.
