After a week-long break for those members of the Chelsea squad not selected for international duty, it was back to work at Cobham today as the preparations for Saturday's Premier League clash against Stamford Bridge against Brentford began.
The visit of the Bees will be the first of six games in April for Thomas Tuchel's side. And it is certainly not an easy fixture list as Chelsea attempt to reach the FA Cup final, the Champions League semi-finals, and cement third place in the Premier League amid a late challenge from Arsenal.
Yet Tuchel, his staff, and Chelsea's players have proved they are up for the fight. The Blues have won 12 of their last 13 matches across all competitions and the last six of those wins have been secured amid owner Roman Abramovich putting the club up for sale and being sanctioned by the UK government as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
