Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku is stepping up his recovery from knee surgery.
There is hope the summer signing will be fit before Christmas.
Nkunku has been splitting his time between visits to Paris - to see specialists - and London as part of his rehabilitation.
Chelsea expert Si Phillips reports: "Chelsea will soon be setting him up with light training before introducing him back in to full team training.
"They [Chelsea] will be super careful and cautious as they look to reintroduce Nkunku to training and back into the squad, but it's sounding positive right now and the recovery is going well.
"We should soon be seeing him back in Chelsea training gear at the very least, and then in a matchday squad."
