Chelsea duo Reece James and Wesley Fofana are close to returning to full training in Dubai, reveals Graham Potter - as both defenders step up recoveries from knee injuries ahead of Premier League return this month

Graham Potter has confirmed that Chelsea defenders Reece James and Wesley Fofana are close to being back in full training as they step up their recoveries in Dubai ahead of a potential return to action.

James has been recovering from a knee injury which he picked up in Chelsea's Champions League clash with AC Milan back in October.

At the time, Potter was 'hopeful' that his in-form right-back would be fine but he was unable to race back to fitness in time to be selected in Gareth Southgate's 26-man England squad.
