Chelsea boss Potter welcomes James, Fofana back to training

Wesley Fofana and Reece James have joined Chelsea training in Dubai.

England defender James sustained a knee problem against AC Milan in the Champions League, six days after French star Fofana was forced off in the same competition.

As a result, both players were ruled out of the World Cup.

But they've travelled to the Middle East regardless, with the duo out in the UAE for a warm-weather training camp with Chelsea.

Blues manager Graham Potter said: "Reece is not quite fully training but he's integrating into training along with Wesley.

"He's is a little bit further behind but not too far."

Ben Chilwell is also in the UAE after a hamstring injury ruled him out of the World Cup.
