Fernando Torres is ready to hand Chelsea a major fitness boost ahead of next week’s crucial Champions League clash against Galatasaray.
The striker sustained a groin injury in the warm-up ahead of Saturday’s 4-0 win over Tottenham.
He has received intensive treatment on the injury and is hopeful of recommencing training before the end of the week.
The news will come as a boost to manager Jose Mourinho, who would like the Spaniard available for Tuesday’s game with the Turkish side.
The first leg finished 1-1, with Torres scoring the visitor's only goal in Istanbul.
Samuel Eto'o deputised for the former Liverpool striker against Spurs, grabbing the opener at Stamford Bridge.
