Mason Mount and Reece James have been captured by Football Daily’s video during Chelsea’s first-team training this morning.

The Blues duo, who both came through the academy, missed the weekend’s 3-1 victory over Leicester City.

However, they can both be spotted during Tuesday’s training session at Cobham.

Mount hasn’t played since defeat to Tottenham last month due to injury, missing the last three games.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has watched from the sidelines his teammates record three straight wins, so it’s going to be a big task for him getting back into the best XI.

As for 23-year-old James, he was absent against Leicester because of illness.

The right wing-back is one of the first names on the team sheet when fit and available, so it’s great to see him back on the field.

Chelsea’s next game is at home to Everton on Saturday evening, the final match before an international break.

Graham Potter is definitely picking from a much stronger squad now most of his stars are fit again, which means he could have even more selection headaches this weekend.

It would be great for Mount to get some minutes under his belt before the break. Will he be in contention to feature for England?

There is a lot of discussions off the field about Mount, whose future is widely speculated about.

Well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests it is more and more likely Mount could exit Chelsea at the end of the season with no progress in contract negotiations.
