A video on Chelsea’s Instagram page has shown Joao Felix looking in fine form ahead of his first team return.
The forward has been suspended for the past three games following a rash challenge against Fulham which saw him sent off on his debut.
The Portuguese star had been thriving in his first match for his loan club, before the moment of madness put an unfortunate roadblock in his path.
However, some of the footage from him training this week will bring confidence to Chelsea fans that he can pick up exactly where he left off.
In a clip on Instagram, Felix destroys both Conor Gallagher and Lewis Hall with a dazzling piece of skill before scoring.
Supporters will be hoping for more of that on Saturday against West Ham, as they hope to see their side end a run of two games without a goal.
Felix dazzles in training
The squad will certainly look different to how it did last time Felix featured. The Blues continued to be busy as January went on.
The big-money additions of Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez are likely to start, with the Argentinian in particular impressing last time out in the West London derby.
It is also likely that Benoit Badiashile will continue his run of games at the back. The Blues are yet to concede since the Frenchman came into the team three games ago.
Felix may be expecting to start in the game against West Ham behind striker David Datro Fofana, who was utilised off the bench against Fulham.
The youngster certainly looked more naturally suited to the central attacking role as opposed to Kai Havertz, who again struggled to stamp his authority on the frontline at Stamford Bridge last time out.
