Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has received a huge boost with the news Edouard Mendy is back in training.

Mendy could make a shock return for Chelsea’s clash against Sevilla after returning to training earlier than expected

The Senegal goalkeeper was expected to be ruled out of the Champions League Group E clash against Julen Lopetegui’s side on Tuesday after suffering a thigh injury in a training session while on international duty.

But The Telegraph claim that Mendy – who missed the Blues’ disappointing 3-3 draw against Southampton on Saturday – could now feature having trained for the past two days at the club’s Cobham base.

And the world’s most expensive keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, deputised but came up with another howler leading to Saints’ second goal.

Chelsea play Sevilla tomorrow night in the Champions League group stage.
