He was in intensive care for a period before being discharged to continue his recovery at home.

The 61-year-old had revealed how his heart had stopped for 60 seconds and engineer Simon Daniels brought him back to life.

The former England international was back in the studio for Chelsea’s Europa League clash with Dynamo Kiev.

“Without a shadow of a doubt I’m a very lucky man but it’s great to be back working with you guys,” he said as he was introduced in the pre-match coverage on BT Sport by presenter Jake Humphrey and fellow pundit Owen Hargreaves.

“I’ve been watching a lot of football and you on the telly, but it’s lovely to be here.

“It’s time to get back [to work] and I’m looking forward to it.”

Prior to that, the England legend took to Twitter to announce his return on Thursday, writing: “On route to @ChelseaFC for my first game back and can’t wait. Looking forward to seeing @mrjakehumphrey and the rest of the @btsportfootball team.”
