Victor Moses will return to the Chelsea squad for Saturday's trip to Anfield.

The Nigeria international has not played for the Blues since suffering a hamstring injury in the first half of October's defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

But Antonio Conte has revealed Moses is now "fine" and the wing-back is set to be included in the matchday squad at Liverpool.

"His condition is good and for sure he needs a bit of time to recover the best form," Conte said.

"[Saturday] he is in our squad and I want to bring him on the bench and decide if there is the necessity to have him on or not.

"I am very happy as now he is fine, but needs a bit of time to have the best physical condition."

Moses spent a year on loan with the Reds four seasons ago, scoring once in six League starts.
