Ashley Cole has fully recovered from his fractured ankle and is in the Chelsea squad for Saturday's game against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
England left-back Cole will start on the bench against Spurs despite having no comeback matches since breaking his ankle against Everton earlier this season.
His return is also a massive boost for England boss Fabio Capello ahead of the World Cup finals in South Africa this summer.
Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti said: "Ashley has not played but he is very fit and trained all week with us.
"He will be on the bench tomorrow."
