Nathan Ake set for Chelsea comeback against Brentford

The Blues defender is set to return to first team action after two successful loan spells in the league led to his recall

Nathan Ake is set to return to Chelsea's starting line-up for the first time since the 2014-15 season as the Blues welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The 21-year-old defender has spent the last two-and-a-half seasons on loan at Reading, Watford and, most recently Bournemouth following just two substitute appearances for the Chelsea first-team. His most recent loan spell, at Eddie Howe's side, was recently cut short due to Antonio Conte struggling to add new recruitments in the January transfer window.
