Two Chelsea Defenders Could Return for Nottingham Forest Clash

Chelsea defenders Reece James, the team captain, and Levi Colwill have returned to training and could be available for the upcoming home fixture against Nottingham Forest. This was revealed by interim manager Steve Macfarlane at his press conference today. The right-back has missed the last five matches for the London club due to a muscle injury, while the central defender has yet to play this season after tearing a cruciate ligament in his knee.

“Reece and Levi have resumed training, and both look good. There’s still a little time until the match, and we’ll see how they progress, but both look promising. We’re taking it day by day. Levi had a long-term injury, while Reece was on a good run before getting injured again. We still have many matches ahead, so we don’t want to rush them too much, but hopefully, they’ll be ready. Yes, it’s possible they could be in the squad for Monday’s game,” Macfarlane commented at his press conference today.

He was also asked why his colleagues should accept the club’s offer in their search for a new manager. “This is one of the biggest clubs in the world with a glorious history. We have everything you could wish for here, so, honestly, there’s no need to convince anyone,” responded the English specialist, who until recently was an assistant to the dismissed Liam Rossinier.
