Chelsea provide fitness updates on Reece James & N'Golo Kante

Chelsea's preparations for their upcoming meeting with Brentford have been boosted by the return of both Reece James and N'Golo Kante to training.

James suffered an ankle injury against Manchester City before the international break and had to withdraw from the England squad, while Kante was forced to isolate after testing positive for COVID-19 and has not featured since the same City game.

Kante made it back to training earlier this week and Chelsea have now confirmed that he has been joined by James, who is out of the swimming pool and back working with the rest of his teammates who have not travelled for international duty.

With four days to go until the meeting with Brentford on 16 October, manager Thomas Tuchel will be hoping to build up both players' fitness in time for them to feature in some capacity, perhaps from the start.

However, the boss does still have a handful of injury concerns ahead of the game, namely involving Christian Pulisic, Antonio Rudiger and Romelu Lukaku.
