Some of Chelsea's first team stars returned to Cobham as Graham Potter led the club's first training session on Tuesday. The Blues were afforded a brief break as the bulk of the first team squad headed to the World Cup, but those remaining players were back in action.
Chelsea fly to Abu Dhabi for warm weather training on Sunday ahead of a friendly against Aston Villa on December 11th. The Premier League sides will compete for the CBF | Al Wahda Challenge Cup on Sunday December 11th, at the unusual kick-off time of 2.10pm.
With 12 players still involved at the World Cup, Potter's training numbers were buoyed by Chelsea's development squad. Following an impressive 4-2 win over Peterborough United in the Papa John's Trophy, the youngsters have a pause of their own until taking on Cheltenham later in December in the third round of the competition.
