Appears back in training
Gittens (hamstring) appears to have returned to training with Chelsea, according to his personal social media accounts.
Analysis: Gittens missed the remainder of last season with a hamstring injury, and his reappearance in training is an encouraging sign that his recovery is complete. The return comes as Chelsea begin preseason work under new coach Xabi Alonso, giving the winger a full buildup period ahead of the new campaign. His pace and directness in the final third make him a key attacking option once matches resume. A formal update on his availability for preseason fixtures is expected in the coming days.
Remains out for FA Cup final
Gittens remains sidelined with a hamstring problem and is not available for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City, with his chances of featuring again this season looking increasingly slim, according to Football London.
Analysis: Gittens has not played since Jan. 31 after suffering a setback in his recovery in early April, and the club is taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation rather than risking any further damage. If he does not feature again this season, the forward would end a disappointing debut campaign at Stamford Bridge with three assists, 16 chances created and 19 shots across 24 appearances (nine starts) in all competitions. Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho are the main winger options available to coach Calum McFarlane for the FA Cup final and remaining fixtures.
