It has been a while, but football clubs are once again able to take their pre-season adventures across the globe.
Chelsea are no different, starting with a rigorous training camp in tinsel town itself - making use of the world class facilities at the University of California, Los Angeles. The Blues have four fixtures in total over the other side of the Atlantic, starting with a match against Liga MX side Club America in Las Vegas.
They then travel across the country to North Carolina, where they will be hosted by Charlotte FC in the 74,000+ Bank of America Stadium, also the home of the Carolina Panthers. This is followed by a trip south to Orlando, Florida, to play very familiar opposition in London rivals Arsenal.
