Joao Pedro - Scores goal against Port Vale Pedro scored once to go with two shots (one on target) and one chance created in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Pedro buried Chelsea's second goal in the 25th minute, taking Pedro Neto's low cross on the right side of the box, spinning his man and tucking a clean finish into the bottom corner to push his season total to 19 goals across all competitions. He was Chelsea's most dangerous attacker before coming off in the 61st minute, ending with one goal, two shots and two key passes in a dominant performance against a League One back line that had no answer for his movement.

Jorrel Hato - Scores opener in FA Cup Hato scored in the second minute of Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal victory over Port Vale.

Impact Hato got Chelsea on the board just two minutes in, pouncing on a loose ball in the box after goalkeeper Joe Gauci bobbled Pedro Neto's corner twice and calmly ripping a half-volley through traffic for his second goal under coach Liam Rosenior. He also carved up the Port Vale defense with a late pass to Alejandro Garnacho that directly set up Estevao's goal, ending the match with one goal and one key chance created. Hato has now scored twice in his last four FA Cup appearances for Chelsea and keeps growing into a real attacking weapon at left-back, a role he was not originally brought in to play.

Impact Estevao played 20 minutes off the bench against Everton in the last game before the international break, and the winger should be ready to handle a full workload moving forward after being deemed healthy.

Trevoh Chalobah - Progressing well from injury Chalobah (ankle) is working his way back from injury but remains to be seen when he'll be able to return to the field, manager Liam Rosenior told media Friday. "Trevoh is progressi...

Impact Chalobah suffered an ankle injury in mid-March, and the initial timetable for his recovery was around four to six weeks. Even if the timeline is closer to the best-case scenario, Chalobah would be hard-pressed to return to action against Manchester City on April 12 or against Manchester United on April 18. The defender won't be an option to face Port Vale in the FA Cup on Saturday, though.

Enzo Fernandez - Suspended by club Fernandez has been suspended by Chelsea for at least the next two matches following a disciplinary breach, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per Football London. "I spoke with Enzo...

Impact Fernandez will miss Saturday's clash against Port Vale in the FA Cup and the following fixture against Manchester City after the club, coaching staff and ownership reached a unified decision to sanction the Argentine midfielder. Coach Rosenior was careful to stress his respect for Fernandez as a person and player, acknowledging the midfielder's frustration stems from wanting success for the club, but made clear that the internal standards had to be upheld. Andrey Santos is expected to see a larger role in the midfield during his absence, with the door left open for Fernandez's return once the sanction has been served.

Jamie Gittens - Available against Port Vale Gittens (hamstring) returned to full training and is available for Saturday's clash against Port Vale in the FA Cup, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per Football London. "Jamie i...

Impact Gittens has been sidelined for two months with a hamstring injury, but getting back into full team training sessions puts him right back in contention for the final stretch of the season. The attacker will slot back into a rotational role behind Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order, but his return adds valuable depth to Chelsea's attacking options as the club pushes through the final weeks of the campaign.

Levi Colwill - Nearing return Colwill (knee) returned to full team training during the break and is closing in on a return to the matchday squad in the coming fixtures, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per Foo...

Impact Colwill has been working his way back from the ACL injury he suffered before the season, and completing full training sessions is the final hurdle before a competitive return. The England international has been a major miss for Chelsea all campaign, with Trevoh Chalobah, Wesley Fofana, Mamadou Sarr and Tosin Adarabioyo all taking turns to cover in his absence. Getting Colwill back into the fold for the final stretch of the season will be a significant boost for coach Rosenior's side, and the signs are now pointing firmly toward that happening sooner rather than later.

Reece James - Progressing well, not yet ready James (hamstring) is making good progress in his recovery but is not yet ready to return, according to coach Liam Rosenior, per Football London. "Reece is getting along really well...

Impact James has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since two games and the club is taking no chances given his well-documented injury history, making a return in the coming weeks the most realistic timeline. Malo Gusto is expected to continue covering at right-back in his absence, with coach Liam Rosenior's side unable to afford any setbacks to one of their most important players.

Impact Gittens is getting closer to his return to the field after spending two months on the sidelines. The attacker's potential comeback for the final stretch of the season will give Chelsea a variety of alternatives on the wings, although Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho might remain ahead of him in the contention for playing time when all of them are available.
