Chelsea defender Cahill says he'll be fit for Munich

Gary Cahill says he'll be fit for Chelsea's Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

Cahill completed his first full training session for three weeks ahead of Chelsea's Champions League final and declared: "I will be fit."

Cahill and David Luiz both appeared to come through unscathed.

Cahill, who suffered his injury during last month's epic semi-final second leg at Barcelona, said: "I'm just happy that it's healed quickly.

"We've worked really hard, all day, afternoons, and I'm fortunate enough to be back.

"Hopefully, I'll be fit, I will be fit, and hopefully I'll be out there if selected."

He added: "First full session with the boys today after my injury, so nice to get back out there and get running around and kicking a ball about.

"There's some work to be done in two or three days now leading up to the game for me to get back into it.

"And if I need to do a little bit of other training, I'll do that.

"But, touch wood, there's no reaction from today and I felt fine out there."
