Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois expected to be fit for FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham

Chelsea expect Thibaut Courtois to be fit to return from injury in time for the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

Courtois missed Sunday's defeat at Manchester United after twisting an ankle during a photo-shoot for an NBA basketball promotion last Tuesday.

The Belgian goalkeeper and team-mates Nemanja Matic, Asmir Begovic, Nathan Ake and Marcos Alonso were involved in the event which was organised by Chelsea and took place at the club's training ground in Cobham.

Begovic, who deputised in goal at Old Trafford, has played in some FA Cup ties this season but manager Antonio Conte would rather play Courtois against Tottenham at Wembley.
