Chelsea get injury boost as Chilwell returns to training

Chelsea have been handed another injury boost as one of the key defenders in the person of Ben Chilwell has returned to training.

This comes as Chilwell was pictured training on Chelsea’s Cobham pitches recently.

Recall that the Blues defender picked up a knee ligament injury in the second half of their Champions League win over Juventus in November and had been subsequently ruled out for the rest of the season.

In a post via Chelsea’s official Instagram account, a photo of the full-back working on the training ground was shared alongside the caption: “Upping those fitness levels! @benchilwell.”

While Chilwell has returned to training, his return date is still unknown, but it is still a significant boost to have him around.

Chilwell’s comes a few days after Reece James rejoined the team after being on the sideline for weeks owing to injury.

James’ return came with a big win for Chelsea during their weekend match against Burley at Turf Moor.

He scored a goal and created an assist as Chelsea won the match on a 4-0 scoreline.
