Hutchinson returns to first-team fold

Last updated : 31 December 2011 By Paul Lagan
Sam Hutchinson thought his world was ripped to shreds when he announced his retirement from first-team football at Stamford Bridge due to a chronic knee injury. But just over a year since then, the 22-year-old has been working with The Academy and now finds himself back in contention for a first-team outing. He will start on the bench for the first time since setting up Frank Lampard to a goal in the hammering of Stoke City 7-1 at the Bridge. All at Chelsea-Mad wish Sam and his family all the best for the future.
