Chelsea are one week into pre-season training and another week away from flying out to the United states for their five-match tour of the country. Wrexham, Fulham, Brighton, Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund await for Mauricio Pochettino's first games in charge of the Blues.
While Chelsea have already seen the departures of Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy, Kai Havertz, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the squad will still need to be cut into shape as Pochettino gets his opportunity to work with new members of the Blues' squad as they return to work. Already the former Spurs coach has spent time with those who were not involved in international duty such as Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, Trevoh Chalobah and Raheem Sterling among others.
Pochettino has also been able to cast an eye over young talents such as Alfie Gilchrist and Bashir Humphreys, while Andrey Santos and Malo Gusto trained with the squad for the first time. However, there are still a number of players for the new boss to judge, whether that be those who have played with the first team, have spent time on loan or just signed with the club. There will still be a lot to resolve in the next seven days.
