Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas says he can see the finishing line in his recovery from a knee injury.

Fabregas admits it's been difficult been to miss the opening weeks of the season.

"It was frustrating and it's been a little bit of a nightmare to be honest, but now I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel," he told chelseafc.com.

"It seems like it's nearly gone."

The midfielder aims to be in action next month.
