'Future legend!' - Excited Chelsea supporters react as Ruben Loftus-Cheek delivers injury update

Ruben Loftus-Cheek's injury update has got Chelsea supporters talking.

The midfielder picked up an Achilles injury during an end of season friendly prior to the Europa League final against Arsenal back in May which means he's yet to make an appearance under Frank Lampard this term.

Last month the 23-year-old hinted at being close to a return.

However, Lampard did warn that a return isn't imminent.

"It is a long road. It is a difficult one for Ruben because he is obviously keen," Lampard said. "We all want him back. We know the quality but it is going out be a while.

"I feel for him because people ask probably and the good thing to say might be I am really pushing on.

With that said, Loftus-Cheek appears to be making good progress.

Taking to social media to provide an update on his recovery, the midfielder uploaded a 53-second video clip on Twitter of him doing some ball work inside the club's training facility.

He's also able to balance on his left ankle without any problems.

As expected, this update prompted a big response from Chelsea fans.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
