With the World Cup well underway and the second round of group matches almost complete, it is already almost time to turn attention back to club football. Graham Potter and his side were handed a break for the start of the competition but the time is upon Chelsea to return and reflect to find some form ready for the Premier League getting underway once again.
Of course, the four-week period of the World Cup has been set aside for a number of Potter's plans with the Blues. The 47-year-old head coach intended to have discussions with the club's owners ahead of January, while he expects his side to 'rejuvenate, to recover, to reflect, to improve'.
That process will get underway in earnest of the coming week as Chelsea are expected to return to first team training on November 29th before flying out to Abu Dhabi for a warm weather training camp on Sunday December 4th. The likes of Trevoh Chalobah will be head into training fresh off of extending his contract but Tuesday could offer a direct insight into Chelsea's lengthy injury list.
