Chelsea Confirm Partial Training Return of Nkunku, Colwill, and James
The trio's return to the training ground comes as Chelsea gears up for their upcoming Premier League fixture.
The three players were spotted participating in training sessions, indicating positive progress in their recoveries. This development follows Chelsea's recent setback, suffering a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium midweek.
With the disappointing result fresh in mind, Mauricio Pochettino's squad aims to redeem themselves on home turf in the upcoming match against Aston Villa. The return of key players like Nkunku, James, and Colwill adds depth and potential options for Pochettino as he strategizes for the crucial fixture.
Nkunku, who has been grappling with a knee injury, is back on the training pitch alongside Reece James and Levi Colwill. James, notably the Chelsea captain, has been sidelined for the season due to fitness concerns. However, the 24-year-old defender appears to be making strides towards a return to full squad involvement.
While their return to training is a positive sign, it remains uncertain whether Pochettino will include the trio in the lineup for the upcoming clash against Unai Emery's side. Their availability for selection will likely depend on their fitness levels and readiness to compete at the highest level.
