Good news for Chelsea: Thiago Silva back in training

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva was injured on 26th February in the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur. The Brazil international was expected to be sidelined for six weeks.

"Scan results from those assessments have confirmed damage to Thiago’s knee ligaments and he will now work closely with the club’s medical department during his rehabilitation to return to action as soon as possible", the English club said.

The Brazilian has been out of action since February but is now on the mend. The 38-year-old trained with his teammates at Chelsea's training complex on Monday.

His recovery time is unknown and it is also not known when he will be available for his new manager Frank Lampard. He is unlikely to play on Wednesday against Real Madrid but we will have to wait for an announcement from the club.
