Chelsea could be handed a boost to their hopes of winning the Champions League if Armando Broja returns from injury ahead of schedule. The striker has recently stepped up his recovery; while an appearance on the European stage looks unlikely, it will be an exciting target for the youngster to work towards.
In other news, Graham Potter would have been disappointed to hear that Wesley Fofana and Mason Mount were recalled from international duty due to injury concerns. But, at the same time, the Chelsea boss can be confident that the duo will be closely monitored now at Cobham training ground.
N'Golo Kante has also stepped up his recovery plan, meanwhile Raheem Sterling was left out of Gareth Southgate's squad as a precaution. Not to mention Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva and Edouard Mendy, who are all closing in on returns as well.
