Branislav Ivanovic has signed a new one-year deal with Chelsea.
The Serbian defender, who has had a difficult season, was entering the final six months of his contract and had been linked with a move to Italy.
But club confirmed today that the 31-year-old would be extending his time at Stamford Bridge.
Ivanovic said: "I am very happy to stay with Chelsea for another season. After eight years here this is my home and there is no other place I would rather play football.
"I have enjoyed so much success since moving to the club and I am determined to help the team achieve more in the last months of this season and next year as well."
Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are both available for Sunday's clash with Arsenal.
Hazard and Costa have been suffering from groin and a bruised tibia respectively but have taken part in training in recent days and look set to play at the Emirates.
"He [Hazard] was well prepared by the physios until two days ago when he started participating with the team," Hiddink said.
"Yesterday and today he was in full commitment with the first-team training so he is available."
When asked about the amount of training Costa has had, Hiddink added: "Not much but he was in yesterday and today, so he will be available as well."
