Ramires back at Chelsea — but only to get over knee injury at Cobham training centre ahead of proposed January move to Inter Milan from Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning
Brazilian midfielder left Stamford Bridge to move to Far East in January 2016, but is ready to make return to Europe
RAMIRES is back at Chelsea, but only so he can get his fitness back ahead of a proposed move to Inter Milan.
The Brazilian midfielder left Stamford Bridge to join Jiangsu Suning for £25million in January 2016.
He now looks set to return to Europe with Italian giants Inter — who are also part-owned by the Suning group — having struck a deal for the next transfer window.
And Corriere dello Sport report he has been given permission to train at Chelsea's Cobham training centre, as he looks to recover from a knee injury.
The Chinese Super League season finished earlier this month, with Jiangsu finishing a disappointing 12th.
But Ramires missed the final part following after being sidelined.
Inter aim to build on a promising start to the campaign by strengthening the middle of the park in the next transfer window.
Reports in Italy suggested a loan deal had been struck in October.
And the Brazilian is now ready to do everything possible to ensure he is fit as soon as he is called upon at Inter.

He asked his former club for permission to use their facilities to help regain his fitness.
The report in Corriere dello Sport claims Ramires chose Chelsea because he knows the medical staff at his former club.
He won five trophies in five season at Stamford Bridge, including the Champions League in 2012.
