Chelsea, who have been struggling this season, are expected to return to training ahead of the October international break, but the England international is facing a suspension after recovering from his injury, and was charged with misconduct by the FA for verbally abusing the referee in the players' tunnel in the last league match.
The injury was sustained in the opening game of the Premier League season against Liverpool, and was originally expected to return by the end of the year. However, his recovery has progressed faster than expected, and he has recently returned to the training ground, and hopes to return to full training next week, aiming to return to action in the first match after the international break in October, when he plays at home against Arsenal in the London Clash.
