Lopes, Croatian striker who is currently on loan from Chelsea, has returned to the matchday squad for his club's upcoming matches.

The news comes after Lopes' impressive performance in his first appearance for the team against Manchester United earlier this month, where he scored twice and provided an assist.

Lopes was initially signed by Chelsea in January 2019 but struggled to find regular game time under manager Frank Lampard. However, the player's form during his loan spell at AC Milan last season earned him a move back to Italy.

Since returning to England, Lopes has been a key player for the Blues, scoring five goals in eight appearances so far this season. He has also impressed defensively, making several important contributions to the team's defensive efforts.

With Lopes now back in the matchday squad, fans can look forward to seeing more of his attacking prowess as he looks to help his team secure victories and maintain their top-four position in the Premier League.
