Mauricio Pochettino is finally set to take charge of Chelsea this weekend and the players could be in for a major shock.
The former PSG boss is plotting a brutal two-week fitness regime at their training base in Cobham before they head off for their pre-season tour next month. Both the coach and Blues stars will have their work cut out for them.
Chelsea's struggles on and off the pitch have been widely documented throughout this last year culminating in a woeful 12th place finish and their worst ever points tally in the Premier League. Their fitness levels are so poor they could still come as a surprise to the new boss. Just before World Cup, only Crystal Palace had covered less distance than Todd Boehly's high-earning stars.
