The Belgian has been out since sustaining an injury in a 4-0 Champions League win over Malmö on October 20th. If you recall, this was the same match in which teammate attacker Timo Werner also strained his hamstring (football news).
Neither player has featured for Chelsea since. That is despite Blues head coach Thomas Tuchel’s hopes for a comeback after the November international break.
Midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who injured his hamstring in training late in October, then joined the two in the treatment room.
