The Brazilian will no doubt be desperate to return to Chelsea first-team when they take on Ralph Hasenhuttl\u2019s Southampton this weekend.<\/p>\n

Havertz, meanwhile, suffered a knock in training prior to Chelsea\u2019s win at Tottenham earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Germany international could be in line to feature on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The likes of Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech were also seen putting in the hard yards at Cobham and are likely to be involved at St Mary\u2019s.<\/p>\n
