Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek ruptured his Achilles during Chelsea’s friendly with New England Revolution in May.

The 23 year old missed the Europa League final 4-1 victory over Arsenal due to the injury.

The midfielder has handed new Chelsea boss Frank Lampard a boost as he walked without a protective boot for the first time since suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Documenting his recovery, the 23 year old Chelsea midfielder shared a video on social media as he walked unaided inside Chelsea’s training ground.

Loftus-Cheek has two years left on his Chelsea contract and he is reportedly close to signing a contract extension with the club.
