The days are counting down until Premier League football returns and Chelsea take on Brentford on Saturday. Thomas Tuchel has been fortunate enough to have some of his elite players available to him early in the week such as Hakim Ziyech and Romelu Lukaku who did not have any international commitments, while Jorginho was allowed to return to Cobham early.
The break was well needed for Tuchel and his squad after a relentless two months of football with the backdrop of the Blues operating under a special license and the prospect of a takeover on the horizon.

First team training appeared to get back underway on Tuesday with a number of injury boosts for Chelsea and the work continued into Wednesday. We take a look at what occurred in Wednesday's sessions.
