Chelsea defender returns to first-team training

Chelsea centre-back Wesley Fofana was back in first-team training in today's session, according to the club's official website.

The Frenchman has endured a difficult career with the Blues due to injuries, but he was recently sidelined due to concussion.

Fofana was sidelined for the last three games, but he has now returned to full training and should be involved after the international break.

Chelsea have had an average start to the Premier League campaign, and they are presently seventh in the standings with 11 points.

The Blues were on a three-match winless streak earlier this month before a dramatic 2-1 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

The west London giants will be aiming to build momentum after the interlul. They face Nottingham Forest on the road.

Fofana could be reinstated straight into the XI. The former Leicester City man was a regular starter prior to his concussion break.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Trevoh Chalobah are also expected to return to first-team action after injury and suspension respectively.
