Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic was back in training on Friday.

Kovacic stepped up his recovery from injury as he took part in Chelsea training at Cobham.

The Croatian midfielder limped off in the first half of our FA Cup semi-final win over Crystal Palace almost two weeks ago, and as a result has missed the last three matches, which have all come in the Premier League.

Andreas Christensen and Ross Barkley also returned to training. The Dane has missed the last two matches with West Ham and Manchester United, while the latter missed the trip to Old Trafford.

Those who played the 90 minutes at Old Trafford underwent a recovery session inside, with the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Hakim Ziyech and Trevoh Chalobah all going out on the grass.
