Ben Chilwell returns to first team training

It is a piece of good news for Chelsea as their key defender Ben Chilwell who has been ruled out for the rest of this season has returned to training.

Recall that the England international suffered a knee injury during the Blues’ November’s Champions League win over Italian side Juventus at Stamford Bridg.

And ever since then Chilwell has not played for the Blues.

His injury came at an unfortunate time for him as well as Chelsea, who have been unable to keep a good form this season.

Although the English left wing-back has been training with some of Chelsea’s youth teams throughout the last couple of weeks, he has now taken the next step in his rehabilitation by returning to sessions with the senior side.

Chelsea have two Premier League games at home against Leicester City and Watford to end the season, with Champions League qualification now secured after Arsenal’s defeat at Newcastle United.

Chilwell was joined by team-mates Christian Pulisic, Jorginho, Marcos Alonso and Hakim Ziyech.

Others at the training include Reece James, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
