Toon in training: All set for Stamford Bridge

Kenedy will be ineligible for the game against his parent club, while Rafa Benítez is sweating on the fitness of Mohamed Diamé and Jonjo Shelvey as well as missing Ki Sung-yueng and Yoshinori Muto, who are representing their countries at the Asian Cup.

But Christian Atsu will be looking to haunt his former side and Benítez himself will be hoping for a successful return to West London. He won the Europa League with Chelsea in 2013.

Serena Taylor brought nufc.co.uk this gallery from training this week.
