He has not made the matchday squads for their last five games.

And he is out of England’s upcoming World Cup qualifying games.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel revealed Abraham suffered a setback in training last week.

But the German hopes a mix of rest and work during the international break will boost his recovery.

Chelsea face Sheffield United on Sunday in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

After this weekend there is no domestic action until their home Premier League clash against struggling West Brom on April 3.

Abraham now hopes to be available for that.

The striker’s return will provide a major boost to Tuchel’s attacking ranks.

Abraham’s current deal will have just two years remaining on it in June as speculation mounts over his future.

Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund in a deal which could reach over £100million.

And Abraham may decide to call time on his Stamford Bridge spell despite coming through the ranks with the club’s academy.
