Chelsea new boy Danny Drinkwater is edging closer to making his Blues debut after returning to training at Cobham.

The English midfielder has been ruled out since his transfer from Leicester in the summer with calf problems.

He will continue to step up his recovery, but it could be another three weeks before Drinkwater makes his first appearance at Stamford Bridge.

Antonio Conte will be keen to bring him into contention following an injury to N'Golo Kante that will sideline him for the rest of October.
