Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi receives huge World Cup boost

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi's World Cup hopes are back on track.

Batshuayi suffered an ankle injury against Schalke last month which brought a loan spell at Borussia Dortmund to a premature end after nine goals in 14 games.

The Daily Mail says he has been cleared to resume training in 10 days and is expected to be fit to join Belgium at the World Cup.

Batshuayi returned to London for treatment and will step up his training the week after next before joining his national team to prepare for the World Cup in Russia.

Belgium, who meet England on June 28 in Kaliningrad, will warm up with friendlies against Costa Rica, Egypt and Portugal
