Diego Costa suffered a bruised knee but he is likely to shake off his injury to face West Brom on Wednesday afternoon. Loic Remy has also recovered from a calf problem, but Radamel Falcao remains absent with a knee injury.
Young Patrick Bamford has returned from a disappointing loan spell at Crystal Palace, but it remains to be seen whether he at all features in Hiddink’s first team plans or not.
Hiddink has admitted that he will be looking to sign a striker in January, preferably as a back up option for Costa and Remy.
