Chelsea handed fitness boost as Chilwell returns to training ahead of Sheffield United clash
The England international missed the dramatic 4-3 win over Manchester United through illness
But he is now back in contention to face the Blades on Sunday
Chelsea have been handed a fitness boost with the return of Ben Chilwell to training ahead of their Premier League clash with Sheffield United on Sunday.
The England international missed the Blues' dramatic 4-3 win over Manchester United last Thursday through illness, but he is now back in contention to face the Blades at Stamford Bridge.
Chilwell's return is a welcome boost for Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, who is already without a number of key players through injury.
N'Golo Kante, Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori are all sidelined, while Willian is a doubt after picking up a knock in the win over United.
Despite their injury problems, Chelsea are still overwhelming favourites to beat Sheffield United, who are bottom of the Premier League table with just one point from their opening seven games.
The Blues have won their last four Premier League games, scoring 14 goals in the process, and they will be confident of adding to that tally against the Blades.
However, Sheffield United have shown some signs of improvement in recent weeks, and they will be hoping to cause an upset at Stamford Bridge.
