Chelsea captain John Terry has returned to training and has a chance of making the top-of-the-table clash against Tottenham this weekend.
The former England captain has missed Chelsea's last two matches, including Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, with calf cramps.
The loss to Roberto Mancini's side has left Chelsea five points adrift of Tottenham, who currently sit in the fourth and final Champions League place in the Premier League table.
He looks as though he is set to feature in the London derby after coming through a training session on Thursday.
Although Terry is now expected to play against Spurs, Chelsea are still waiting on news regarding the thigh injury picked up by Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic at Eastlands.
