Jorginho Henderson, who joined Chelsea on a free transfer from Brentford in the summer, has yet to play for his new club due to a broken wrist he sustained while celebrating England's World Cup quarter-final win over Mexico in July. Recently, Xabi Alonso, Chelsea’s head coach, stated that Henderson was unlikely to face Brentford soon but would not rule out his participation. However, Henderson was spotted training at Cobham on Monday, indicating he might be nearing a return for Chelsea's match against Brentford scheduled for Friday night. This comes as Alonso acknowledges the team is still in the early stages of implementing their new system and philosophy, emphasizing that it will take time to see improvements.
