Reece James and Kai Havertz have handed Chelsea a major fitness boost by resuming training ahead of Saturday’s game against Aston Villa.
They return from a hamstring injury and illness over the international break for the 10th v 11th clash at Stamford Bridge as Graham Potter’s side bid to escape mid-table mediocrity. N’Golo Kante, Raheem Sterling, Wesley Fofana and Edouard Mendy are also back for a much-strengthened Blues.
