Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has resumed full training after spending six months on the sidelines following knee surgery.

The Dutchman suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage during the Capital One Cup tie against Swindon Town back in September.

This serious injury has restricted the 21-year-old to only four games this season, having completed £8m switch from Vitesse Arnhem last summer.

The Dutch midfielder trained with the Chelsea first team today and took this picture with Spaniard Fernando Torres. He tagged the picture with the following message: “Nice training @ft9_official.”
