Ready to play: Chelsea captain Reece James was back in training before PSG trip

Chelsea Football Newsletter

The Blues face the side they beat in the Club World Cup final last summer when they pay them a visit at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

And ahead of the game, there was positive news for Liam Rosenior on the injury front as both Reece James and Jamie Gittens were pictured in training at Cobham on Tuesday morning before the squad flew out to France.

Rosenior will provide further updates in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday evening.

Also training with the first team was Levi Colwill, who has not played a single minute so far this term after suffering a serious knee injury on the first day of pre-season training.

He will not feature against PSG but his return to training is a positive development.

Cole Palmer was also training on Tuesday but there was no Estevao, who has been following an individual programme after a hamstring injury that turned out to be a little more serious than expected.

Rosenior will name his strongest possible lineup for the trip to Paris and so the availability of James to feature at right-back could be key.

There is a decision to make in goal. He dropped first-choice ‘keeper Robert Sanchez away at Aston Villa last week and was rewarded as Filip Jorgensen was part of a team that won 4-1.
