Chelsea provide Tammy Abraham injury update ahead of the clash against Aston Villa

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is facing a late fitness test ahead of facing his former team, Aston Villa.

Abraham sustained a hip injury against Valencia in the Champions League and he was unused in the defeat against West Ham in their last Premier League game.

Though the striker is back to training and must prove his fitness to Frank Lampard in the training.

“Tammy needs to get outside and move a little bit outside over the next two days,” Lampard said on Saturday evening but reports understands that the England striker is quite hopeful of being ready.

Abraham is highly thought of by the Villa faithful after his stunning 26-goal haul last season helped the club return to the Premier League.
