Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says Michael Essien is a big chance to make their Champions League trip to Juventus.

Essien was back for Chelsea's FA Cup win over Coventry City and Hiddink said: "Essien has played and trained with the second team. Now he is fit but it is different to be game fit if you are playing very tough games.

"I have hours to think whether we start with him (against Juventus), yes or no, and see what his reaction is from Saturday - but it is good to have people on the bench who can slot in easily."
