N'Golo Kante and Reece James are closer to a return to the training pitch with Chelsea.

The injured duo posed for a selfie together, which was uploaded to James' social media pages.

The snap was even re-posted by Chelsea, who captioned the image "moving forward together".

Kante, 31, has not played since August due to a hamstring injury, which eventually saw him undergo surgery.

A hamstring problem picked up in the second match of the season has kept him sidelined for four months and led to him missing the World Cup for France.

James, 23, was also not at the World Cup because of a knee issue.
