Chelsea star Willian steps up recovery from calf injury in hydrotherapy pool

Willian has handed Chelsea a boost by stepping up his recovery from the calf injury which ruled him out of Saturday's victory at Watford.

The Brazilian played 80 minutes in the Blues' season-opening win over West Ham but was a notable absentee from the team who secured a 2-1 triumph against the Hornets.

Willian is expected to miss Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Bristol Rovers due to his calf problem but could return against Premier League side Burnley this weekend.
