Reece James made his long-awaited return to Chelsea training this afternoon ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
The 22-year-old has been ruled out since the end of December after he suffered a torn hamstring against Brighton and Hove Albion. But having undertaken almost a month of individual work at Cobham, the academy graduate was finally cleared to rejoin first-team training.
Those players who started against Lille on Tuesday night, including Mateo Kovacic and Hakim Ziyech, undertook recovery work at Cobham in order to ensure they were ready and fresh for Sunday's clash at Wembley.
