ROSS BARKLEY could be in line to make his Chelsea debut when the Blues host Leicester on Saturday (3pm), although the new signing is still recovering from hamstring surgery. Barkley completed his £15million move from Everton earlier this week and has already started training with his new team-mates. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since the start of the season with a hamstring injury, but is nearing full fitness following surgery. However, the visit of Leicester could still come too early for the midfielder to make his debut. Barkley, who looked less-than-impressed when introduced to the Stamford Bridge crowd on Wednesday, may be fit enough for a place on the bench. He could be joined by Alvaro Morata, who has suffered an alarming dip in form since the turn of the year. The Spaniard has gone three games without a goal in January, missing a host of chances and looking bereft of confidence. Antonio Conte is likely to continue with the 25-year-old up front, although Michy Batshuayi or Eden Hazard in a central role are both viable alternatives. Meanwhile, Davide Zappacosta could come in for Victor Moses after the Nigerian played 90 minutes against Arsenal, while Tiemoue Bakayoko is another who could be rotated in.
