Tiemoue Bakayoko and Eden Hazard have returned to training at Chelsea.

The London Evening Standard says the pair returned to full training on Tuesday.

They were photographed taking part in training along with the rest of their Chelsea teammates at the club's base in Cobham.

It will be a huge boost for Blues boss Conte, who has been without Hazard since the winger injured his ankle during a training session with the Belgium national team in early July, which subsequently required surgery.

Chelsea estimated that the 26-year-old - who enjoyed his best campaign at Stamford Bridge last season after scoring 16 Premier League goals - would be missing from action for three months.

But his return to training could signal an earlier return date while summer signing Bakayoko could also be in contention for selection earlier than planned following minor knee surgery at the end of last season.
