Chelsea and Frank Lampard received a significant boost in less than two weeks before the start of the Premier League season.
The influential midfielder N & # 39; Golo Kante is back in full training.
This news comes just days after the Japanese sent Kante back to England to continue his recovery, as he suffered the injury that almost excluded him from the Europa League final.
The Blues head coach, Lampard, had an update after the win over Barcelona.
"Yes, he's fine," said Lampard. "It was a decision I made because I felt he was here, with the facilities and the move, the trips, etc. that we had done, it was probably not the most beneficial for him.
"He's gone home, spent a few days at Cobham, worked well and progressed, so I hope we'll come back at the end of the week and meet the doctor to find out he's hoping that He will be back with us very soon. "
Lampard's hope seems to have come true.
The West London team uploaded a Twitter image of its team's training at Cobham on Friday afternoon and, to take a closer look, one can see Kante at the ## 147 ## # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # 39, back of the group.
It remains to be seen whether Kante will be involved against Reading in the last pre-season friendly on Sunday afternoon.
This injury comes at a time when Chelsea's opponents during the opening weekend of the new Premier League season suffered a physical setback.
The Red Devils beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in Shanghai on Thursday afternoon and Eric Bailly was one of 11 changes before the second half.

However, a few minutes later, Bailly hurt himself and, looking visibly upset, lay out of the field and went down to United's locker room.
After the match, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not seem too optimistic.
"It looks like he's twisted his knee, so we only have to do examinations and checks," he told MUTV. "At first glance, it does not look great but let's see how it goes."
