Chelsea's Pedro Rodriguez Ledesma: Returns to training after facial injury

Pedro returned to training on Thursday as he continues to recover from a facial injury, Sports Illustrated reports.

Analysis:

Pedro suffered multiple facial fractures in a collision with Arsenal's David Ospina last week, but he returned to training a bit ahead of scheduled while sporting a protective mask. He could feasibly play a part in Sunday's Community Shield match against the Gunners, but it would not be surprising if he is spared until the start of the Premier League campaign.
