Boehly visits, team news hint: Four things spotted in Chelsea training ahead of Tottenham tie

Todd Boehly has been spotted at Cobham training ground ahead of Chelsea's clash with Tottenham. Spurs will welcome the Blues to north London on Sunday afternoon as Graham Potter looks to transform the club's poor form.

Chelsea have recorded just one win since the return of the Premier League after the World Cup. And, the table reflects exactly that; the Blues sit tenth and ten-points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham.

While the west Londoners have shown glimpses of promise, Potter has struggled to enjoy a consistent vein of form and, as a result, doubt has been cast over his position as head coach. But, despite speculation that Chelsea are exploring potential candidates to replace the 47-year-old, Boehly looked to be in great spirits on the touchline.

So, with that being said, football.london has noted what we spotted in Chelsea training at Cobham which otherwise might have been missed.

One Minute silence

The Chelsea first-team held a minute silence before training to mark a year of the war in Ukraine. Both the Players and coaching staff stood around the centre-circle with their heads bowed.

Winning team celebrations

Wesley Fofana, Mateo Kovacic, Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Kepa Arrizabalaga appeared to be apart of a winning team from a mini-game. The five of the seven identified celebrated in a huddle, arm in arm. Could this sway Potter when deciding his starting lineup to face Spurs?

Chukwuemeka stakes claim

Carney Chukwuemeka launched himself into what looked to be a fantastic slide tackle on Kai Havertz. The 19-year-old has exceeded expectations whenever he has been called upon so he'll be desperate for a run of starts alongside Enzo Fernandez.

Boehly beaming ear to ear

Despite some poor results, Boehly couldn't wipe a smile off his face. Whether Potter is a comedian or not, the American billionaire looked delighted with what he was seeing on the training field.

It must also be said that Boehly was adapted very well to the London lifestyle; black puffer coat, jeans and a pair of Nike trainers. All he needs now is a black Nike crossbody bag and a Nike tech fleece!
