Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti admits he's desperate to get John Terry back into the first team.
Terry has missed the last three games with a nerve problem in his leg, while Frank Lampard has been a long-term absentee with a groin injury.
However, Ancelotti revealed after Sunday afternoon's 1-1 draw at Newcastle that both are expected to resume training this week, and Terry in particular could be available for next weekend's clash with Everton.
He said: "Next week for him [Terry] and Lampard will be an important week. They will start to train with the team.
"We have a week to control their condition and I hope both, maybe more John Terry than Lampard, will be able to play against Everton.
"They are very important players, not just technically, but because they have personality and character, and at the moment, we need to have that kind of player at our disposal."
