Trevoh Chalobah is expected to make his return to Chelsea first-team training on Friday and football.london also understands Reece James has also stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury this week.
Chalobah has been absent since the 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge at the start of the month. The academy graduate went into that game nursing a hamstring issue yet opted to play as the Blues were short of defensive options.
He was able to complete 70 minutes before being replaced but the 22-year-old has been sidelined since. Having rushed Chalobah back from injury in December due to Covid cases in the Chelsea squad, he has this time been given ample time to recover.
