Chelsea flew a 29-man squad out to Los Angeles last weekend for an intense training camp and will play friendly matches against Club America in Las Vegas, Charlotte FC in Charlotte, and Arsenal in Orlando as Tuchel and his coaching staff push the players hard ahead the 2022/23 campaign.

Kante and Loftus-Cheek, meanwhile, have remained in England as the U.S government’s current entry rules declare a Covid vaccination is mandatory for all visitors who are not U.S nationals.
