Chelsea fullback Reece James could return for next week's West London derby with Fulham.

The right-back has missed the last six games in all comps after injuring his knee on his comeback against Bournemouth last month.

That came after he spent almost three months on the sidelines after suffering a knee problem against AC Milan back in October.

But James appears to have put his nightmare behind him.

The Telegraph reports he's likely to be considered for selection on Friday after recently returning to training.
