Chelsea have got themselves a huge boost right before the Aston Villa game on Saturday with one star pictured back in training.
Chelsea have suffered quite a few injuries again this season after a busy summer and a busy schedule up until now.

They signed some new players in the summer but some of them have been a bit more unfortunate than others have been with injuries.
New striker Liam Delap has not really been able to hit the ground running due to consistent injuries and as a result, he has not been able to find any real form in a Chelsea shirt yet.
Delap has just been out injured again, but he will be hoping that he can now return at the weekend when Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge, and begin that run of form that he needs and to get those criticising him off his back. He does need to step up now.
Delap back in training
----------------------
As you can see above, Delap is back in training for Chelsea in images posted on Tuesday evening this week.
This would suggest that perhaps with another training session today, and then again on Friday, he could have a good chance of making the bench for Villa on Saturday.
The images were posted on Delap’s personal Instagram account and looking at it, it seems like he is back in full group training as well and not just individual training. Which of course is another very good sign.
Let’s see if he can make the squad on Saturday, because it will be a huge boost for Chelsea and for Enzo Maresca to have the Delap option back in the squad again.
