We came into this season not even really realising that Mateo Kovacic was an injury doubt, but he’s missed all three Premier League games so far, and Chelsea have suffered without him.
Luckily today marks a milestone for him as he featured in the open training session at Cobham, showing that he must be close to a return.
With N’Golo Kante now out injured, it can’t come soon enough.
We may see another week of Conor Gallagher if Kovacic isn’t match fit to face Leicester this weekend, but equally we can imagine Kova being rushed back ahead of time given last week’s result.
