Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek is yet to feature for the Blues this season due to an injury suffered before the Europa League final last season.

It was hoped the 23 year old will return before the end of the year but the recovery process has taken much longer than hoped.

According to The Athletic, Loftus-Cheek’s injury comeback isn’t imminent despite his optimistic video updates.

Chelsea were hoping Loftus-Cheek will return before the end of January but now it’s more possible to happen in the latter stage of the season.
