Thibaut Courtois steps up recovery from knee injury

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has taken to social media to confirm that he is well on track to regaining full fitness.

The 23-year-old has been ruled out of action for a number of months after undergoing surgery on his knee.

Courtois has now stepped up his personal rehabilitation programme, and has vowed to return to Chelsea's squad even stronger as a result of his layoff.

Starting a next step of rehabilitation in the swimming pool. For now just 🚶🏻 🔜🏃🏻! #CFC #workhard #comebackstronger 💪🏼

Asmir Begovic has taken over first-team duties in the Belgian's absence, although recent reports suggest that Chelsea are also in the market for another new keeper.
