The 23-year-old defender moved to Stamford Bridge from fellow Premier League outfit Leicester City in a deal around £50 million.
However, he has been battling with a heel injury he suffered towards the end of the 2019-20 campaign as reported by Daily Mail.
The England international is now getting ready to make his debut for Chelsea in the coming weeks after joining his colleagues in training.
Lampard’s men welcome champions Liverpool to Stamford Bridge for their second Premier League fixture this term.
Meanwhile, Silva made 315 appearances for the French champions over an eight-year reign – winning 23 titles in all with the Parisians.
He was part of the squad that also pushed PSG to their first Champions League final but lost to Bayern Munich at the end of the fixture.
