What Marc Cucurella told Thiago Silva in Chelsea training for Milan clash as youngsters miss out

Monday morning saw Chelsea take to their training pitches in Cobham ahead of flying out to Italy to take on AC Milan in the Champions League. The Blues head to the San Siro with hopes of repeating the impressive performance they issued at Stamford Bridge to dispatch their Serie A opponents 3-0 less than a week ago.

Graham Potter was not afforded a boost in the form of N'Golo Kante who, despite having been integrated into training in recent weeks, was not involved in the session in addition to long-term absentee Wesley Fofana. Winger Hakim Ziyech was also missing having come off the bench to face Wolves at the weekend.

Neither Thiago Silva or Denis Zakaria were in Chelsea's squad for their win over the managerless Midlands side, but both emerged from the changing rooms to participate ahead of the journey across Europe.
