Alexandre Pato could make Chelsea debut in next two games

Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink says that Alexandre Pato could make his debut in the next two games.

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has claimed that Alexandre Pato could make his debut either against Norwich City or Stoke City this week.

The Brazilian, who joined the Blues from Corinthians on a loan deal in January, has not yet featured for the Premier League club.

However, he may now get his chance as striker Diego Costa is likely to be rested by Hiddink.

"[Pato] is eager and of course we now have healthy competition between the strikers, in a very good atmosphere, with Diego the number one," Hiddink told reporters in Monday's press conference.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 11 league games.
