Boost for Chelsea as Victor Moses begins light training

Chelsea midfielder, Victor Moses, has taken a major step in his recovery from injury.

The Blues wing-back has been out of action since the shock 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace last month, with his absence sorely felt.

Antonio Conte’s side, normally so solid defensively, have shipped 10 goals in the six and a half games since Moses hobbled off with a hamstring injury.

Speaking of Moses’ injury last week, Conte said: “We have to wait and have patience. He needs more time before he recovers.”

It seems though that the Nigerian is closing in on a return to action having taken part in his first outdoor training session since his injury.

The 26-year-old tweeted images of himself being put through his paces, along with the message: “Good to be back training outside.”

Moses was omitted from the Super Eagles games against Algeria and Argentina on Friday and Tuesday respectively.

He will be expected to have gained full fitness before the Blues’ next game.
