Chelsea defender Reece James has returned to first-team training after recovering from an injury..
After suffering a knee injury during Chelsea’s Champions League victory over AC Milan at the San Siro in October, the 22-year-old was ruled out of England’s World Cup squad.
The right-back has returned to full training and participated in the first session of their warm-weather training camp in Abu Dhabi, according to the Standard..
Chelsea are hoping that Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell can recover from their injuries in time for the Premier League to resume after welcoming James back to first-team training.
The Blues will play Aston Villa in an international friendly in Abu Dhabi on December 11, followed by a Premier League match against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on December 27.
Chelsea have lost four of their last five league games without James, and they will be hoping that his return to fitness coincides with a turnaround in fortunes..
