Enzo Maresca, the new boss of Chelsea, received some great news on Monday as three key players returned to training with the first-team. Despite a strong start to the season, the Blues had to face some injury troubles during the international break, following their draw with Arsenal. Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia were both forced to leave the pitch during the match, and they were not able to join their national teams for the break. Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill, who played the full 90 minutes against Arsenal, also had to withdraw from the England camp due to knocks. Additionally, Wesley Fofana had to deal with pain in his knee and did not feature for his country during the break.
However, on Monday, as the team returned to training, Maresca was happy to see both Palmer and Colwill back on the pitch, joining the rest of the team. But that was not all, as Jadon Sancho, who had been absent for the last six games, was also spotted in training. The 24-year-old had made an impressive start to the season, providing three assists in his first three games. However, he was unable to play against his parent club, Manchester United, and was left out of the squad for the following four games due to a mix of injury and illness.
But now, with Sancho back on the training pitches at Cobham, it seems like he is in contention to make his return for the upcoming match against Leicester City on Saturday. This will be a much-needed boost for Chelsea, who will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League. On the other hand, Leicester City will be eager to get back to winning ways after suffering three defeats in their last four matches in all competitions.
All in all, it was a welcome injury boost for Chelsea, as they prepare for the busy festive period. With key players returning to full fitness and their strong start to the season, Maresca's side will be determined to continue their impressive run and make a mark in the Premier League.
