Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell appears to be back with the main group as he steps up his return from injury.

Chilwell, 25, hasn’t played since the start of November because of a hamstring problem.

The left-back shared himself doing some individual training work last week, so Blues fans are hopeful to see him back on the pitch soon.

It now looks like there’s been more positive news today.

Ben Chilwell injury

Sky Sports have captured on video (Football Daily) some of Chelsea’s training sessions on Wednesday, which includes their first-team players preparing for Saturday’s trip to Liverpool in the Premier League.

It’s interesting to spot that Chilwell is involved as part of the main group.

Also, 23-year-old right-back Reece James, who’s been on the sidelines with his own injury recently, is training with his teammates again.

Chilwell had a rotten 2022 when it came to injuries, so hopefully he can look forward to plenty of interrupted game time when he returns to the pitch.

The English left-back has proven before he can be vital in the Chelsea line-up, especially when James starts on the opposite flank.

It feels like Marc Cucurella is still fighting to get to his best levels during his debut season at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, youngster Lewis Hall is leaving a great impression when he covers at full-back.

If Chilwell gets his fitness back, he should still be in pole position to be Chelsea’s main left-back.

Let’s hope for some good news soon from Potter regarding the player’s fitness. It definitely looks positive from the outside looking in.
