Frank Lampard receives Chelsea boost with Willian set to return for Super Cup Final

WILLIAN is ready to declare himself fit for Chelsea’s Super Cup final against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Willian has been working separately from the main group as he tried to regain full fitness following his return from the Copa America.

Now he is ready to hand Lampard a boost by returning to action in Turkey.

Chelsea need experience on the field.

And Willian will provide it if he comes through a training session today.

Lampard’s side looked light at Manchester United.

But Willian can provide balance after a poor opening weekend defeat at Old Trafford.
