Thibaut Courtois expected to return against Bournemouth

Thibaut Courtois is likely to return from injury in time for Chelsea’s match against Bournemouth next weekend.

The goalkeeper suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Belgium in September, with Asmir Begovic deputising for Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho told reporters after the Blues goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur that he expects Courtois to be available for next week’s Premier League clash. John Terry, Ramires and Radamel Falcao are also nearing their returns from injury.
