Chelsea have had plenty of misfortune with injury over the last few months.
The Blues have just lost Wesley Fofana for most of the new season due to an ACL injury.
Reece James also suffered an injury scare as picked up a knock in training.
However, the west London club’s supporters can breathe a sigh of relief following Mauricio Pochettino’s latest update on the full-back.

Pochettino has revealed that Reece James is travelling to the USA to join up with the squad.
The 23-year-old suffered a knee injury in training and was forced to have a precautionary scan.
Pochettino revealed: “He is flying soon and he is going to join the team.”
Chelsea won their first game under Pochettino 5-0 in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Maatsen (2), Gallagher, Nkunku and Chilwell were all on target as the Blues defeated Wrexham.
