The England international hasn\u2019t featured this season after suffering an ACL injury before the start of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Colwill is back in full training and is getting closer to a return, with Chelsea reportedly still hopeful he\u2019ll feature before the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Levi Colwill unlikely to be in squad against Nottingham Forest<\/h2>\n

Colwill played 90 minutes for the under-21s against Middlesbrough last week, and came through the game unscathed, in a huge boost for both him and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a possibility he could play for the under-21s again on Friday against Tottenham, but a decision on that hasn\u2019t yet been taken.<\/p>\n

The Blues have missed Colwill, and they kept their first clean sheet on Sunday against top flight opposition since January.<\/p>\n

With five games left this season including the FA Cup final the clock is ticking on a return to the first team, but one thing Chelsea won\u2019t do is rush the 23-year-old.<\/p>\n

Chelsea play Forest at Stamford Bridge on Monday, but The Sun have reported it\u2019s highly unlikely he\u2019s risked in the squad.<\/p>\n

The report adds whilst the possibility hasn\u2019t been completely ruled out, there\u2019s an expectation Chelsea will continue to take their time.<\/p>\n
