Chelsea's Reece James, Levi Colwill Back in Training

Reece James and Levi Colwill have made a return to training as Chelsea prepares for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest. Interim coach Calum McFarlane confirmed this development on Friday, expressing optimism about the duo's condition following recent injury setbacks.

James has been dealing with recurring injury problems throughout the season, while Colwill has spent the campaign recovering from a serious knee ACL injury. Colwill's rehabilitation has included participation with the club's U21 side as part of his return to full fitness.

McFarlane praised James for his influential leadership within the squad, despite his recent time sidelined. The coach stressed the importance of caution regarding their return to action, particularly for James, as they look to strengthen the team's defensive lineup ahead of the match scheduled for Monday at Stamford Bridge.
