Chelsea have been handed an injury boost after full backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell shared a photo of them in rehabilitation together.
The defender duo have been sidelined in recent weeks as the Blues have suffered a poor run of form, slipping 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City.
Chilwell is likely to be out until the end of the season after sustaining a partial ACL tear during Chelsea's 4-0 Champions League triumph over Juventus in November.
The 25-year-old had to undergo surgery to repair the ligament but he appeared to be in high spirits as posed alongside James in the gym.
James posted a photo to social media of the pair smiling and posing with peace signs as they continued their road to recovery.
The right back captioned the photo: 'Fullback gang on the mend.'
The England international is closer to returning to the pitch than his right back counterpart.
The 22-year-old limped off during the Blues' draw versus Brighton in December with a hamstring tear.
The defender avoided surgery but was ruled out for six to eight weeks, leaving Thomas Tuchel stranded without a key member of his squad for a crucial, jam-packed two months.
Chelsea are yet to win a game without James and they have been missing an attacking drive without the wing-backs, who have contributed five league goals and six assists between them.
