Chelsea have been handed a major boost ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash against Brentford, with Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile returning to first-team training.
Lavia and Badiashile Return
Lavia has been sidelined since June after picking up a muscle problem during the Club World Cup clash against Benfica. Badiashile, meanwhile, has yet to feature this season due to a persistent injury concern.
Both players were pictured back in full training on Monday, raising hopes that they could be available soon.
Key Players in Training
With several first-team stars away on international duty, manager Enzo Maresca worked with a smaller squad, which included returning duo Lavia and Badiashile. They trained alongside Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Enzo Fernandez, and new signing Alejandro Garnacho.
What It Means for Chelsea
The return of both players provides Maresca with more defensive and midfield options as Chelsea prepare for a busy run of fixtures. Their availability could prove crucial as the Blues aim to climb higher in the Premier League standings.
