Chelsea have been boosted by the fitness of Moises Caicedo for the Club World Cup final.

But Caicedo has returned to training and will back in midfield alongside Enzo Fernandez against Paris Saint-Germain.

“Moises is an important player for us,' said Enzo Maresca ahead of the game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. “I hope we can have him on Sunday.”

Noni Madueke has left the Chelsea camp after being given permission to travel back to London to complete his £52million move to Arsenal.

Liam Delap was suspended for the 2-0 semi-final win over Fluminense but is available again, leaving Maresca with a big decision over the make-up of his attack.

Joao Pedro was handed his full Chelsea debut up front against Fluminense and scored both goals to send Chelsea to the final.

Maresca must weigh up whether to start the Brazilian again or play him out wide and bring Delap back into the team.

Levi Colwill is also available again after being suspended against Fluminense.

Romeo Lavia has not featured since the round of 16 win against Benfica.

Jamie Gittens and Estevao Willian are joining Chelsea after the Club World Cup and have competed for other clubs in the competition, so are not available to play.

Chelsea possible line-up (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Pedro; Delap.

Unavailable: Madueke, Gittens, Estevao

Doubts: Badiashile, Lavia
