Chelsea duo Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James are set to step up their returns from injury on Friday in the club's Under-23s match against Brighton.
The pair are very much in Frank Lampard's first-team plans this season, and they are set to boost the Blues' squad ahead of a busy month of September where the Champions League and Carabao Cup both begin.
Hudson-Odoi has been out with a ruptured Achilles tendon since late April, with his return coming quicker than many expected after less than five months spent on the sidelines.
