Speaking at his press conference ahead of this weekend’s Premier League encounter with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, Conte revealed that Zouma, aged 21, is expected to join his team-mates for full training at Cobhham from Monday.It was in the same fixture in February that Zouma sustained the serious knee injury that ended his season, forced him out of contention for the France squad for Euro 2016 and has kept him sidelined until now.
Conte has been linked with a host of centre-backs following his side’s defensive problems in recent weeks. Captain John Terry has been injured and Gary Cahill has made a series of mistakes.
Zouma’s return will give him another option.
