Christian Pulisic is set to push for a first team recall against Southampton after making his comeback from injury in the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The USA international injured his hamstring in the FA Cup final against Arsenal in August, and suffered a setback before the first game of the season against Brighton.
Pulisic has finally returned to full fitness and made a brief cameo from the bench in the victory over Roy Hodgson's side last weekend, as Chelsea got back to winning ways.
With the October international break in full swing, the former Borussia Dortmund winger will have additional time to work on his fitness before Chelsea’s next match against Southampton.
Blues boss Frank Lampard could hand the American a recall to the starting line-up, having already shown his faith by issuing the winger the number 10 shirt during the summer.
Pulisic played a leading role in Chelsea's fourth placed finish last season, scoring nine goals and providing four assists as the Blues secured Champions League football.
And some Chelsea supporters cannot contain their excitement ahead of the forward's return to the first team.
One fan posted a clip of Pulisic during his Dortmund days on Reddit, as a reminder of the winger's talents.
The video was titled: 'A Young Pulisic vs Sergio Ramos...can't wait until he is fully fit,' and showed highlights of Pulisic's performance against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in 2016, where he constantly tormented the then-European champions.
One reply below the video said: "One of the things I like about him is his first touch when receiving the ball.
"It's always so perfect to start a dribble straight away which makes him extremely direct.
"The moment after he receives the ball he is charging and this attracts more players to him thus giving others space.
"Love the fact we get to watch him weekly after Hazard spoiled us with his other worldly dribbling in the past few years."
Another read: "Pulisic tore them up so badly that after this game Madrid started scouting them and rumours came out that they were in the competition to try and sign him."
