Chelsea trio return to training after injuries

Chelsea trio Marc Cucurella, Noni Madueke and Armando Broja have returned to full training ahead of the Aston Villa clash this weekend.

The Blues have had a poor start to the Premier League campaign and they have picked up only five points from their first five league games.

The club need a huge turnaround in the coming weeks or else they could struggle to finish in the top four for the second straight campaign.

Mauricio Pochettino's side face Aston Villa at home this weekend and ahead of the game, they have been handed with a triple injury boost.

Cucurella, Madueke and Broja were back in training in Tuesday's session and they could make the matchday squad to face the Villans.

Chelsea had a poor record at Stamford Bridge last campaign and Pochettino will be hoping for a huge improvement in that record this term.

The Blues beat Luton Town in an easy fashion last month, but they lost to Nottingham Forest at the Bridge before the international break.
