Chelsea’s controversial French teenager Gael Kakuta could get his first chance to show all the fuss was worth it in Saturday’s game against Wolves (Chelsea 1/7 for victory on Betfred Premier League coupon).

It was the 18 year old’s move to Stamford Bridge from Lens which resulted in FIFA banning the West London club from any transfer activity for two transfer windows.

This punishment has been suspended as the Court of Arbitration for Sport deals which Chelsea’s appeal against being found guilty of inducing Kakuta of breaching his contract with the French side.

He is due to be named on the bench for Saturday’s game against Wolves as Chelsea (5/6 for Premier League title on outright coupon) are suffering with injuries to a number of their star midfielders, including Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack and Deco.

Carlo Ancelotti has backed the teenager to be able to perform at the highest level, stating the France under-19 international works best in a position similar to Deco or Joe Cole (Cole 7/1 first goalscorer on match coupon).

“He is a very good talent. He is very young and he can be a player in the future of Chelsea with his quality. His character is good, he is a quiet boy, and at that age I have never seen a player with this talent,” said the Chelsea boss.

One player not figuring in the game will be Michael Mancienne, as the terms of his loan deal to Wolves (20/1 for victory, 6/1 draw on match coupon) states he cannot figure against his parent club.

Kevin Foley is expected to return for Mick McCarthy’s side (Wolves evns for relegation on outright coupon), but it is believed that Kevin Doyle may be rested after playing a full 120 minutes for Ireland in the play-off defeat against France.
