Impact Gittens missed the final four months of last season with a hamstring injury, which he described as the first muscle problem of his career, calling it a challenge at the start before adding that he feels much better now.

Impact Gittens missed the last four months of last season with a hamstring injury, and his involvement in the high intensity session confirms his recovery is complete during the Blues' preseason. His participation gives him a full buildup period under new coach Xabi Alonso ahead of the new campaign, positioning him to be a key attacking option once competitive matches resume.

Appears back in training Gittens (hamstring) appears to have returned to training with Chelsea, according to his personal social media accounts.

Impact Gittens missed the remainder of last season with a hamstring injury, and his reappearance in training is an encouraging sign that his recovery is complete. The return comes as Chelsea begin preseason work under new coach Xabi Alonso, giving the winger a full buildup period ahead of the new campaign. His pace and directness in the final third make him a key attacking option once matches resume. A formal update on his availability for preseason fixtures is expected in the coming days.

Remains out for FA Cup final Gittens remains sidelined with a hamstring problem and is not available for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City, with his chances of featuring again this season looking...

Impact Gittens has not played since Jan. 31 after suffering a setback in his recovery in early April, and the club is taking a cautious approach to his rehabilitation rather than risking any further damage. If he does not feature again this season, the forward would end a disappointing debut campaign at Stamford Bridge with three assists, 16 chances created and 19 shots across 24 appearances (nine starts) in all competitions. Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho are the main winger options available to coach Calum McFarlane for the FA Cup final and remaining fixtures.

Still in recovery Gittens (hamstring) remains without a definitive recovery timeline, with coach Liam Rosenior saying "Jamie has responded really well to his recent setback, but we need to make sure...

Impact Gittens is progressing well in his recovery, but the question remains whether he'll see any more action this season with a few more games to play. The attacker has been inactive since Jan. 31 as he suffered an injury setback in early April and the team is now carefully managing his recovery. He's not a top option among the squad's wingers, but his absence leaves Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho as the main choices.

Impact Gittens was expected to be an option for Saturday's FA Cup match after shaking off a hamstring injury, but has instead suffered a setback, with the forward injured during Friday's training. This will leave the forward out for another week at least, as the club is set to go through some scans and take the return cautiously after his recent setback. However, this remains a brutal spell for the player, having not played since January due to injury.

Impact Gittens has been sidelined for two months with a hamstring injury, but getting back into full team training sessions puts him right back in contention for the final stretch of the season. The attacker will slot back into a rotational role behind Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho in the pecking order, but his return adds valuable depth to Chelsea's attacking options as the club pushes through the final weeks of the campaign.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Back in gym Gittens (hamstring) has returned to gym work while he continues to make progress on his injury recovery, Jack Drury of The Chelsea Chronicle reported Friday.

Impact Gittens is getting closer to his return to the field after spending two months on the sidelines. The attacker's potential comeback for the final stretch of the season will give Chelsea a variety of alternatives on the wings, although Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho might remain ahead of him in the contention for playing time when all of them are available.

Remains out Saturday Gittens (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton.

Impact Gittens is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Everton due to a hamstring injury. The forward has yet to fully shake the issue and remains unavailable, though his absence should have a limited impact on the starting XI, having made just nine starts in 21 appearances across all competitions while recording three assists.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Remains doubtful Gittens (hamstring) remains a doubt for Saturday's clash against Everton, according to Dom Smith from The Standard.

Impact Gittens hit a setback in his recovery from the hamstring injury that has kept him out since late January and remains a doubt for Saturday's matchup against Everton. The forward likely went through additional testing but wasn't mentioned by coach Liam Rosenior during the press conference. That said, if he ends up missing more time to fully shake the issue, his absence should have only a limited impact on the starting XI since he has made just nine starts in 21 appearances across all competitions this season, failing to score while chipping in three assists.

Needs to be assessed Gittens (hamstring) was expected to return for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United but felt his injury in the last team training session and needs to be assessed moving forwa...

Impact Gittens may have suffered another setback with his hamstring during Friday's team training session after feeling it late and ultimately missing Saturday's clash against the Magpies. This is a tough blow for the Blues since he had been expected to make the bench and return after roughly a month and a half on the sidelines. Gittens has mostly been used as a bench option for the Blues this season, so his absence should have only a limited impact on the starting XI, though the winger could now be facing a few more weeks out.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Gittens (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Newcastle United.

Impact Gittens will miss Saturday's clash against Newcastle United as he continues his recovery after an injury that has already kept him out for the last eight matches. The winger had been close to returning earlier in the week but is not yet ready for match action. Even once fully fit, he is likely to remain more of a depth option, having started only five of his 16 league appearances this season.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Should be option Saturday Gittens (hamstring) is an option for Saturday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Jamie is back involved, which is great news."

Impact Gittens was supposed to be an option for Sunday's UCL action, but that came soon, leaving him to instead be set to play against Neecaslte on Saturday. This is a solid addition back for the club, with the winger missing their past eight games. However, he is likely to serve more of a depth option, only starting in five of his 16 league appearances this season.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Missing Wednesday Gittens (hamstring) is not on the team sheet for Wednesday's match against PSG.

Impact Gittens was expected to be an option Wednesday but is still missing, as the forward appears to need another few days to rest. However, there is a chance he was just not a preferred option for the match and left on the sidelines, hopefully seeing the team sheet against Newcastle on Saturday.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Back for UCL Gittens (hamstring) "is back" with the team ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League visit to Paris Saint-Germain, coach Liam Rosenior confirmed Tuesday.

Impact Gittens has recovered from an injury that has prevented him from playing since Jan. 31, so he'll be expected to add an attacking option soon in the contention with Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho. While he may be used as a substitute in upcoming contests, Gittens will look to increase his season totals of one goal and five assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Close to a return Gittens (hamstring) is nearing a return to play within the next week or two, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "Elsewhere, Jamie is getting really close [to a return], and he had...

Impact Gittens is still working on his return but is closest to being an option he has been since the injury, with the forward set to train with the group in the next seven days. This should then lead to a return near next weekend, either against Newcastle on March 14 or against PSG on March 17. With five starts in 16 appearances this season, he will likely see the bench first once fit.

In rehab, not an option Gittens (hamstring) is still progressing through his injury and is not an option for Wednesday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Liam Rosenior.

Impact Gittens will continue his time on the sidelines as he recovers from a hamstring injury, with the forward progressing through rehabilitation but not yet an option. This still leaves the forward with a bit of an unknown return date, with it unlikely he returns during the busy week. They will at least hope to have him for their UCL knockout games against PSG, giving them the depth they will need to take down last year's champions.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing well, not ready yet Gittens (hamstring) won't be available to face Arsenal on Sunday but is trending in the right direction, manager Liam Rosenior told media during Friday's pre-match press conference...

Impact Gittens is working his way back from a hamstring injury sustained in early February, and while he's trending in the right direction, this game will come too soon for him. The winger is a depth option in the attack for Chelsea, however, so he's not likely to have a big role once he's ready to return.
