Chelsea and England defender Ashley Cole is expected to return for the final six weeks of the season, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The England defender broke his left ankle during Chelsea's defeat to Everton in February.
Following surgery, Cole has undergone intensive rehabilitation during a three week spell in France.
There had been media reports which claimed that it was hugely unlikely that Cole would play again this season, jeopardizing his selection for Fabio Capello's World Cup squad.
But, Cole's operation on his ankle was deemed a complete success, his recovery is going well and now the left-back is expected to return for the final six weeks of Chelsea's season.
The news will be welcomed by both Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti and England coach Fabio Capello, who is already without left-back Wayne Bridge, who ruled himself out of World Cup contention.
