Chelsea keeper Courtois trains ahead of Spurs FA Cup clash

Thibaut Courtois was back in training with Chelsea on Wednesday as he attempts to prove his fitness before the weekend.

The Belgian goalkeeper missed the weekend's loss to Manchester United after reportedly hurting his ankle in a NBA promotion for a commercial shoot last week.

Sky Sports reports that Courtois trained with his goalkeeping coach and will return to squad training on Thursday as the Blues tune up for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

Antonio Conte will have his fingers crossed that the 24-year-old becomes available for the Spurs showdown in London as the Premier League leaders look to bounce back from their lacklustre showing at Old Trafford on Sunday.
