N'Golo Kante continued his recovery from a long-term hamstring injury with an hour of action in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Chelsea on Friday.
The French midfielder has been absent since August, having suffered a hamstring injury that has plagued him, but managed a full 60 minutes of match action.
And he was not short of supporters on the touchline, with team-mates Mason Mount and Thiago Silva in attendance on Friday.
Mount wore a shirt with Kante's name and No 7 emblazoned in support of his injured colleague.
He first sustained the problem in the Blues' 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham, only to reaggravate it when he resumed training five weeks later.
