Jadon Sancho has returned to full training with Chelsea after missing the Blues' last three Premier League fixtures.
The former Manchester United star, who joined the west London side on loan this summer, enjoyed a strong start to life at Stamford Bridge. Goals against Bournemouth, West Ham and Brighton & Hove Albion highlighted a renaissance of the winger who had fallen out of favour with the Red Devils following a public dispute with manager Erik ten Hag.
However, Sancho's impressive start to the campaign was cut short in October. He was removed from Chelsea's 2-1 loss at Liverpool at half-time and has since not made an appearance under Enzo Maresca.
But, fans can now look forward to seeing Sancho return after the November international break with the club confirming that he is now back training with the squad.

— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) November 18, 2024Sancho's return to Chelsea will come as welcome news to fans considering Cole Palmer's latest injury scare. The England international pulled out of Lee Carsley's squad after sustaining a knock during Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
A dangerous tackle from Lisandro Martinez sent the Blues star to the treatment room, where he was forced to undergo an 'injury scan' to dictate the severity of his wound.
A timeline on Palmer's return has not yet been given, although the club will hope to have him back sooner rather than later if they are to continue their impressive start to the 2024/25 campaign.
Chelsea return to action on 23 November when they faced newly-promoted Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
