Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile is back in team training ahead of Monday’s fixture against Newcastle.
The Frenchman picked up a groin injury during the win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup at the start of February.
Badiashile was set to be sidelined for at least a month so he is set to return to action right on schedule.
It is expected that he will be named on the bench by Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino when his side take on the Magpies next week.
