Chelsea right-back Reece James is closing in on a return to fitness.
The attacking wing-back was not able to travel to the World Cup with England due to an injury.
However James is back in training with the group in Abu Dhabi as they prepare for the rest of the club season.
Per football.london, James is not likely to play a big part in upcoming friendlies.
However, the club are confident he should be ready soon after the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day.
James sustained a knee ligament injury against AC Milan in the Champions League.
