Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack met with current Blues boss Antonio Conte on a visit to the club's Cobham Training Centre on Thursday.

Ballack spent four seasons at Stamford Bridge after joining the club on a free transfer from Bayern Munich in 2006.

The midfielder won six major trophies during his time in west London, including the Premier League title during his final season with the Blues in 2009-10.

And the former Germany international believes Chelsea are well equipped to claim yet another league crown this season under the guidance of Conte.

'Amazing to be back today at the @chelseafc training's ground in Cobbham.... nice to see the team in great shape and always good catching up with Antonio Conte,' Ballack posted to Instagram, alongside a photo of himself and Conte.

Ballack's visit will have provided Chelsea with an added boost ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to defending champions Leicester City.

The Blues suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham in their last Premier League game - a result which ended the club's record-breaking 13-match winning run in the league.

Chelsea are still five points clear at the top of the division, despite their defeat to Spurs, and Conte will be confident of claiming all three points against a Foxes side struggling in the league.

Claudio Ranieri's side are just six points clear of the relegation places and are yet to record back-to-back wins in the league this season.
