Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed that he is on course to return to full fitness by December.
The Belgium international suffered knee ligament damage in September and required surgery to correct the injury.
The procedure was a success and the 23-year-old has posted a series of photographs on his official Instagram page after stepping up his rehabilitation in recent weeks.
"In terms of my knee, it is good. I am doing my rehabilitation and it is progressing fine" he explained after Belgium qualified for Euro 2016 on Wednesday night.
"I will be (now) starting the bulk of the work with my physio to come back as soon as possible.
"Of course I still have to be careful not to go too quickly, but all being well, I should be back in December."
Jose Mourinho's side conceded just 32 goals en route to the Premier League title last season but have conceded more than half that total after just eight games of the current campaign.
Summer signing Asmir Begovic has deputised for Courtois during the Belgian's spell on the sidelines and has kept one clean sheet in six top flight appearances.
While the news in regards to Courtois is positive, the Blues are expected to be without Branislav Ivanovic when they face Aston Villa this weekend.
The right back suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty with Serbia and could face up to three weeks on the sidelines.
