Radamel Falcao was one of three players who returned to Chelsea training on Tuesday with Jose Mourinho now enjoying a fully fit squad of players.

The Colombian striker, who is consistently linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in January, has not played since the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on 31 October.

He took to Instagram to speak to his fans after remaining silent during his injury exile.

"I'm working hard and focusing on recovering," he wrote. "For that reason, I was not using social media accounts for a month or more. I am very happy to train again with the team. I am sure I will back strong."

Falcao is unlikely to play in Chelsea’s crucial Champions League game with Porto tonight, a game in which the Blues need only draw to ensure qualification into the knockout stages. A win would see them top the group.

John Terry and Ramires also returned to training and coule feature at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking on Tuesday, under-pressure Jose Mourinho believes his job remains safe.

"I did lots of good things in this club for the owner to know the quality I have," he said. "The owner shows me that belief twice: when he brought me back to the club, and when he gave me a new contract for four years."
