John Obi Mikel says Chelsea players are delighted Michael Essien is available for the start of preseason training.
Essien has not featured since December but like his fellow midfielder is nearing a return to full fitness and has been fully involved in training so far.
Asked whether this means more competition for a midfield place this year, Mikel told chelseafc.com: "I don't know, I'm working hard and whatever decisions there are for the manager.
"It is very good to have Essien back. He has been out for a long time, and I hope we can play together in the middle, that would be great."
