Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has claimed that midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is still two or three weeks away from being able to complete 90 minutes following his minor back injury.
The England international was forced off the pitch during Chelsea's FA Cup match with Nottingham Forrest in January, causing him to miss a few weeks of first team action.
But Sarri claims that Loftus-Cheek is almost out of the woods in terms of his injury and could start playing 90 minutes for the club within a fortnight.
"In the last few weeks, [his back is] better," Sarri said, quoted by football.
