Chelsea have left for a training camp in Abu Dhabi – right-back Reece James was also on board to get back into light team training.
James suffered a knee injury just before the World Cup and lost the competition against time – England manager Gareth Southgate opted to leave the 22-year-old at home.
The right-back consequently remained in London, where he worked on his comeback at Chelsea’s training center in Cobham. Now he is also in Abu Dhabi to continue his rehabilitation and take the next steps. Chelsea FC confirmed James is taking part in light training sessions there.
The right-back hopes to be fit again when Premier League action resumes when Chelsea take on Bournemouth on Tuesday, December 27.
Joining James in Abu Dhabi were fellow struggling stars Wesley Fofana and N’Golo Kante, although they will need a little longer to recover from injuries.
