Chelsea star Eden Hazard appears to be edging closer to full fitness after he posted a video of himself doing some light training exercises.
The Belgian international underwent surgery on his ankle at the start of June and was scheduled to return to training in three months' time.
Hazard is not yet fit enough to be put through his paces with the rest of the Chelsea team, but he has given the club a boost by working on the training pitch at Cobham.
Hazard, who scored 16 Premier League goals and created five assists last season, is still expected to miss the start of the campaign as Chelsea attempt to defend their title.
The playmaker was linked to Real Madrid, but he has publicly insisted that he is committed to Chelsea.
