Michael Essien says Chelsea have been lifted by the return from injury of Paulo Ferreira and Joe Cole.
"Everyone was happy to see them come back,' the Ghanaian told Chelseafc.com having watched Cole and Ferreira in action against QPR from the subs' bench.
'They did very well to come back and play the whole game, it is not easy and they had a very good game.
'You feel great when you first come back, you are so thrilled to be in the team again and you are so excited. So that has happened to Joe and Paulo, they are very happy to have a game to test their knees and their knees feel good.'
