Chelsea have been handed an injury boost with Cole Palmer back in individual training, according to The Telegraph.
The England international has been sidelined for the last two months with a groin injury, but he is anticipated to return soon.
He has started working on the grass again and could join his teammates in full training by the beginning of next week.
The playmaker is targeting a return against Barcelona in the Champions League.
If not, he could face Arsenal in the Premier League before the end of the month.
Palmer is unlikely to make the starting line-up from the off, and may require some period of time to build up his match fitness.
He could be limited to substitute appearances for the first few games and could become a regular in the line-up by late December.
Chelsea are currently third in the league standings, six points adrift of Arsenal, who are top of the table after 11 matches played.
