Behind the scenes in Chelsea training for Dinamo clash as four youngsters join amid injury issue

It was a wet day in Cobham as Chelsea took to their training pitches ahead of another Champions League game. The Blues face Dinamo Zagreb at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday but have already qualified top of Group E, to make it into the last-16 of the competition.

Mateo Kovacic and Kepa Arrizabalaga were both absent from the group that prepared in the rain. The latter had an issue with his foot against Brighton and was substituted at half time, while Kovacic has been managing a knee issue this season.
