Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy 'could make shock early return from injury against Sevilla' after training for past two days following thigh problem suffered on international duty

Edouard Mendy could make a shock return for Chelsea's clash against Sevilla after returning to training earlier than expected, according to reports.

The Senegal goalkeeper was expected to be ruled out of the Champions League Group E clash against Julen Lopetegui's side on Tuesday after suffering a thigh injury in a training session while on international duty.

But The Telegraph claim that Mendy - who missed the Blues' disappointing 3-3 draw against Southampton on Saturday - could now feature having trained for the past two days at the club's Cobham base.
