Chelsea have received a boost with the news that striker Timo Werner is back in training.

The German did not participate in his country's matches during the recent international break.

Werner has been absent from action since a hamstring problem he sustained during an October Champions League clash with Malmo.

He has now returned to training, and may be available for selection for Saturday's clash with Leicester City.

One who is still absent is Belgian centre-forward Romelu Lukaku, who is only in light training at present.
