Chelsea’s pre-season is now in full swing with the Blues three days into their tour of the US. Los Angeles will be home for the remainder of the week before the squad then travel to Las Vegas.
There, they will face Club America in their first pre-season game before taking on Charlotte FC four days later. Before heading back to the UK, Chelsea will also take on Arsenal on Saturday July 23.
There were 29 Blues players who made the trip stateside, including a number of returning loanees who will be out to impress Thomas Tuchel in the coming weeks. And one of those will definitely be defender Ethan Ampadu.
