The past week has provided Chelsea's weary players with a chance to relax and recharge. Many have travelled abroad, using the time off to get some sun and switch off from the demands of what has been a gruelling 2020/21 campaign.
Thomas Tuchel and his coaching team have also had the opportunity to enjoy a much-needed break, although calls will have been fielded by the Chelsea head coach given the transfer window is open.
In the coming days, the Blues squad will regroup at Cobham and begin to focus on the second half of the season. There is still plenty to play for.
