Unemployed Champions League hero back in Chelsea training after eight years in shock move
RYAN BERTRAND is training with Chelsea’s loan development group, eight years after leaving the London club.
The 34-year-old is without a club after his contract expired with Leicester City this summer.
And according to Fabrizio Romano, Bertrand is now training with Chelsea’s loan development squad in the hopes of finding himself a new home.
He is said to be considering interest from England, Europe and the Middle East as he looks to take the next step in his career.
The full-back spent the last two years with Leicester, but only managed four appearances for the foxes in the Premier League after struggling with his fitness.
He picked up a nasty knee injury which saw him undergo surgery and spend over 500 days away from the pitch.
Bertrand will be hoping he can return to the high levels that he set earlier in his career.
The Englishman represented his country 19 times on the International stage and has also won an array of club trophies.
During his time at Chelsea he won the Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup.
He actually made his European debut during The Blue’s 2012 Champions League final win over Bayern Munich.
