'Elite baller!' - Chelsea fans can't hide delight as Ruben Loftus-Cheek steps up recovery

It's been a long road to recovery and Ruben Loftus-Cheek appears to be recovering well.

The midfielder ruptured his Achilles' tendon ahead of the Europa League final and has been undergoing a painful recovery programme behind the scenes.

However, Loftus-Cheek looks to be heading in the right direction based on a video posted by the Chelsea twitter account.

The video shows the midfielder running on an under water treadmill - an exercise used to build the strength in the Achilles without the high impact of running out of the water.

Chelsea's social media post can be seen below.

Of course this is just a small step in his recovery, but it's something which has delighted the Chelsea fans.

Here's what they've been saying on social media.
