Chelsea supporters can now breathe a sigh of relief as two players, previously sidelined due to injuries, have made a triumphant return to training.
With the Blues aiming to maintain their winning streak both at home and away, the comeback of two crucial players, absent for several months, provides a significant lift to the squad in preparation for the latter half of the season.
Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka have rejoined first-team training for Chelsea, marking a substantial boost as the team gears up for the FA Cup knockout stage fixture against Preston North End.

Chilwell, absent since sustaining a hamstring injury in Chelsea’s Carabao Cup triumph over Brighton, is set to contribute to the team once again. Meanwhile, Chukwuemeka, formerly with Aston Villa, has been out of action since injuring himself in a match against West Ham, despite scoring to level the scores.
While Chukwuemeka was anticipated to make an earlier return this season and even appeared on the bench against Burnley, a setback occurred in October 2023 due to a complicated knee issue. Consequently, additional rehabilitation was required for Chukwuemeka to attain full fitness levels.
