Chelsea have been handed an injury boost ahead of their Premier League clash against Manchester City on Thursday. 

According to football.london, Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has returned to training after overcoming a thigh injury that kept him on the sideline since November. 

The 26-year-old was forced off in first five minutes of the Blues 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on November 12. The midfielder had plenty of time for recovery work. 

Loftus-Cheek featured regularly for the Blues since the arrival of Graham Potter at Stamford Bridge.
