Ruben Loftus-Cheek returns to Chelsea training

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has returned to training at Chelsea.

The Daily Mail says Loftus-Cheek has returned to training after eight months on the sidelines.

Loftus-Cheek suffered the injury during a friendly against New England Revolution in the United States in May, which caused him to miss the Europa League final and the first half of this season.

However, the 24-year-old has taken a significant step forward in his recovery as he trained with Frank Lampard’s squad at Cobham on Friday.

Chelsea will, in all likelihood, be cautious with Loftus-Cheek as they seek to ensure that he doesn’t suffer a setback.
