Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has rubbished suggestions that Ben Chilwell could be fit sooner than expected.
The left-back is likely out for the rest of the season with a serious injury.
However, a recent social media post showed Chilwell back on the grass, which led to fans thinking he may be joining in with training.
Asked about the matter, Tuchel poured cold water on the speculation, stating in his press conference:
"I think they did the photo during the one minute he was outside. It's why it feels like this. Nobody saw him, so we were all pretty excited.
"But it was just that the weather made it possible that he can do the exercise he normally does inside outside. They made him smell the grass, get a bit excited. But he's not even close to football, team training, whatever."
