Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile was close to returning from injury before he suffered another injury.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has now given an update on the fitness of the Chelsea defender.

“It was a different muscle for Benoit, a different thing, but it was minor, small,” Pochettino said.

“He is training with Reece James, Carney Chukwuemeka and Trevoh Chalobah. They are very close also to start being involved training with the team.”
