Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen is fine despite breaking a finger this month.

Christensen broke his finger in training and required surgery to insert splints into it, says The Athletic.

The Blues ace is still expected to be included in Frank Lampard's first-team squad for Sunday's game against Aston Villa.

Chelsea's preparations for the return of the Premier League took a small hit this week, after it emerged the centre-back had broken his finger in training.

Christensen apparently had to have surgery to have splints inserted into his finger after breaking it.

However, he is still set to return to the fold once play resumes this weekend.
