Ruben Loftus-Cheek is finally released from his back, which has bothered him all season, revealed the manager of Chelsea, Maurizio Sarri.
The Blues Academy graduate played a leading role in the club's impressive 3-0 win against Brighton on Wednesday night.
After scooping a smart ball off the corner with Eden Hazard, Loftus-Cheek made a spectacular effort in the top corner for their eighth goal of the season.
However, the English breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge has been hampered by a persistent back problem.
Loftus-Cheek scored an absolute beauty in the second half
He left the field in tears after his back ignited against Nottingham Forest in January and retired from the last English team, but Sarri now reveals that the midfielder is playing without pain.
The Italian told talkSPORT: "For the first time this season, Loftus-Cheek has no problem.
"So now he's able to train every day and now he's fine. The potential of Loftus-Cheek is very high.
"He played a very important game, he scored a magnificent goal, and in the end he had a small problem with his hamstring. I think it's just cramps.
The sensation of 18-year-old Callum Hudson Odoi also began when Sarri finally answered the prayers of the faithful of Stamford Bridge.
The winger offered the badistance for the first goal of Olivier Giroud and seemed threatening from the beginning. Sarri was particularly impressed by his defensive contribution.
Hudson-Odoi had a good start to the season in the Premier League
"I was sure of Callum," he added. "As I said at the press conference, Callum has improved during the season, especially tactically.
"It was the first time in the Premier League, but Callum has played 20 games with us. I was so sure of his performance and he played very well.
"I'm really happy with him because he defended very well – and for us, it's really important to have an offensive player who can defend himself.
Hazard added goal two
"He has to defend himself because we have three offensive players, plus Loftus-Cheek, so we can not defend with six players. Callum is much improved during the season in this work.
"Not only did Callum and Ruben today, I saw an impressive performance of [Andreas] Christensen. "
