Cesc's last appearance for the blues was against Arsenal in September while Zouma has recovered to play two games with the second team over the past week.

Conte reported on their progress in his press conference ahead of the weekend's game against Everton.

‘This week Cesc Fabregas and Kurt Zouma started to train with the team.It’s normal when you start playing after a long period
of rest you need to find the best form and shape, and after the international break I think they will be available for selection'.

Highlighting their importance to the squad and talks of a winter exit for Cesc,Conte added,

‘I’m pleased for Cesc, he is important for us, and also for Kurt. He played two games with the Under-23s and
he will play another game on Tuesday with them. His recovery is very good and we are satisfied with this.Now we hope he can stay with us for the rest of the season.’

Another player who has seen no game time this season is Mikel but Conte said 'he is training well after recent injuries and will soon be back'.
