Chelsea handed further injury boost as Timo Werner begins Blues training again after injury lay-off... following fellow striker Romelu Lukaku's return to pitch work earlier this week

Chelsea have been given another injury boost this week with striker Timo Werner returning to training following a hamstring problem.

The German forward, who has scored two goals in ten games for the Blues this season, picked up the fitness setback during last month's 4-0 Champions League victory over Malmo and has missed the west Londoners' last five matches.

But Chelsea released images of the 25-year-old back doing pitch work at the club's Cobham training base on Thursday, raising speculation he could return for the Blues' trip to Leicester City on Saturday lunchtime.
