The Sun follows the team: Chelsea defender Colwell has recovered smoothly and aims to return this season

Hupu, October 29th, Sun News Chelsea and team reporters Lloyd Canfield and Dan King wrote this week’s weekly report.

Colwell's serious injury is one of Chelsea's biggest losses so far this season.

The England defender suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury on the first day of pre-season after winning the Club World Cup.

His surgery and long-term injury were a heavy blow to Chelsea, so much so that Enzo Maresca pleaded with Chelsea bosses to sign a new centre-back.

That didn't happen, but The Sun can reveal that Colwell is at least recovering and plans to return to action this season.

The defender is still a long way from returning to training, but he is currently working hard to regain movement in his knee and everything is going well.

Ganacho opened the scoring against Sunderland, his first goal in a Chelsea shirt.

This game was one of the few hopes the Blues had on that desperate afternoon.

You might think this would win the Argentinian a lot of praise at Stamford Bridge this week, but a sartorial error risks irritating half of the club's shareholders.

Todd Burley is not only a minority shareholder of Chelsea, but also a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball ownership group.

So the 52-year-old owner may be disappointed to see one of his blockbuster summer signings arrive wearing an Oakland Athletics baseball cap.

Not only is this a different team, it's one of the Dodgers' rivals in California!
