While Henderson has taken part in training for the best part of a month, he has been overlooked in the Premier League as well as Carabao Cup wins over Luton and Leeds.“I think he is in the last stage of his recovery.”It would appear that Henderson is on course to be in contention to face his former club on Friday night as he was put through his paces at Cobham on Monday ahead of Chelsea’s final fixture before the extended international break.There was, however, no sign of Moises Caicedo who has now missed the last three games - against Arsenal, Leeds and Hull - after limping off against Brighton at the end of August.Asked for an update on the midfielder last week, Alonso said: “Let's see for Brentford, but unluckily not at the moment to take risks with him. Not yet, we are not there yet.”Injury doubt: Moises CaicedoPA“It’s early days for us. It’s one month together and in one month, we know the idea, the concepts, the mentality, but it’s too early to know it’s already built,” Alonso reflected.“It will take longer, but we need to learn from everything and from this [against Hull] as well.“For sure, I think it will come. At the moment, we are not having that feeling we are solid enough. With work and with games, I think it will get better.”
