Calum McFarlane confims double Chelsea injury boost

James & Colwill back in training

Calum McFarlane confims double Chelsea injury boost

01 May 2026 - 19:48

Chelsea interim manager Calum McFarlane has confirmed a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest on Monday.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Man Utd interested in signing Aurelien Tchouameni
  • The Blues have had a dreadful league campaign thus far, and they have suffered five defeats on the bounce. The club recently parted ways with manager Liam Rosenior, and McFarlane now has the task of ending the club's losing league streak.

    Ahead of the upcoming clash against Forest, McFarlane has confirmed that Reece James and Levi Colwill are back in training, and they could be eased back into action.

    He said: "Reece is back in training. Levi is back in training. Both looking good. Both are looking promising. We are taking it day by day."

    Chelsea are currently 10 points behind fifth-placed Aston Villa and may not qualify for the Champions League next season unless one thing happens.

    The Blues could make the competition if they finish sixth in the league and Villa go on to win the Europa League while staying fifth in the table.
