Johnson in training despite damaged hand
26/10/2005 - 10:17:37Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson is already back in training and pushing for a first-team recall despite breaking his hand.
Johnson is not included in tonight’s squad for the Carling Cup clash with Charlton at Stamford Bridge.
It had been suggested the England Under-21 international would miss the next two months after damaging the hand.
However, the 21-year-old is only wearing a thin protective cast on his hand during training and left the club’s Cobham complex yesterday without it.
The club is hopeful the player will be back in contention for a first-team place shortly but allegations the former West Ham defender inflicted the injury on himself by punching a wall at home in anger remain unconfirmed.
