Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in Chelsea training ahead of tomorrow’s game against Fulham in the Premier League.

Chelsea make the short trip across west London on Thursday night to Craven Cottage, with a huge game in store against their rivals.

Graham Potter’s Blues side sit 10th in the league table in a dreadful run of form, so it feels vital they respond with a positive result this week.

Meanwhile, Fulham are flying high in seventh spot in the league, with Marco Silva’s team playing some eye-catching football.

Aubameyang in Chelsea training

Aubameyang appears to have given Chelsea an injury boost ahead of the Fulham game.

The £160,000-a-week attacker was absent from the match day squad during the weekend’s 4-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup. Potter confirmed that the striker missed the game with a “tight back”.

However, Aubameyang can be spotted clearly in training photos at Cobham that Chelsea uploaded on their official website yesterday.

Let’s hope Potter provides a concrete update on the centre-forward’s fitness in his pre-match press conference for Fulham.

Despite the fact he’s out of favour right now, Aubameyang’s availability for Fulham could be really important given the pile up of injuries in the squad.

Paul Merson is convinced that Chelsea will sell him. He’s still a senior individual in the squad for now, though.

Aubameyang actually has four goals in three career appearances against Fulham, so could he be a surprise hero in Chelsea’s hour of need tomorrow?
