“He trained with us, we’ve not had him training in contact sessions yet, he’s been involved in possession and shape work.
“He feels really good which is the important thing. He’ll be pushing me for Chelsea, that’s for sure.
“Once he gets on that training ground he’ll move quickly and he’s certainly progressing quickly now.
“Obviously, there will be a lot of pressure put on him because of the pressure on him before his injury, but we have to make sure he’s right when he actually comes back.”
