# Abraham in Chelsea squad for Tottenham clash

Striker Tammy Abraham is back in the Chelsea squad for the home clash against Tottenham Hotspur, as reported on the [Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-injuries-tammy-abraham-return-ngolo-kante-three-weeks-a4368371.html).

The Englishman is in contention to start the Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge after missing the last match against Manchester United.

As quoted in[the report](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-fc-injuries-tammy-abraham-return-ngolo-kante-three-weeks-a4368371.html), manager Frank Lampard said:

> Tammy Abraham has trained the last two days at probably about 70 per cent.

> He hasn’t trained much recently. He is in the squad again but I have to make a decision on whether he is fit.

### READ CHELSEA VERDICT

This is potentially game-changing news for Chelsea because of Abraham’s goalscoring form so far this season.

The 22-year-old has found the back of the net 13 times in the league this term, whilst also providing four assists in the process ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tammy-abraham/leistungsdaten/spieler/331726)), which proves his importance to the team.

Fellow strikers [Michy Batshuayi](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michy-batshuayi/leistungsdaten/spieler/179184) and [Olivier Giroud](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/olivier-giroud/leistungsdaten/spieler/82442) have a combined total of one league goal this campaign, which proves why Abraham’s return to the squad could be a blow for Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham.

However, Lampard did mention that he is still not 100% fit, meaning that Giroud or Batshuayi may be required to fill in, but we expect Abraham to at least come off the bench if the Blues require a goal late on, even if he isn’t 100% fit, simply because of his form and confidence in front of goal.
