Sky Sports reports, per Football Daily on Twitter, that Chelsea fullbacks Reece James and Ben Chillwell are back in training.

Chelsea missing Reece James.
Reece James is arguably Chelsea's best player, and his 14 goal contributions in only 26 league games were integral to Chelsea's successes last season.
Chelsea have mostly played in a back-three system in recent years, with the wing-backs having huge creative responsibilities, and Reece James has been at the forefront of that.
However, injury has kept him out of the game more than Chelsea would like. His recent injury was a recurring knee injury that he initially picked up in October, ruling him out of action for nine games.
Only two weeks later, he injured his knee again and has been out of action since, before being spotted in training today.
Since making his debut in the 19/20 season, Reece James has missed 65 games due to injury.
Chelsea would hope he can overcome his injury problems, as he is crucial to their project.
