Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel able to train at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has revealed he's been doing his rehab from knee surgery at Stamford Bridge.

Living close to the club's stadium, Van Ginkel is able to build up his fitness on the Stamford Bridge pitch during the UK's coronavirus lockdown.

"It is allowed for the boys who live close to the stadium," he explained in conversation with PSV TV. "I live very close to it, so it's ideal for me. The training complex was just too far for me, so I wasn't allowed to go there.

"It's only allowed on your own, so it's not fun or anything. It's boring, but it's no different.

"I also did it in the park, but the field is smaller there. Stamford Bridge is the best, so that is ideal."
