Chelsea attacking duo Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech have seemingly started off their international break in style as both were spotted watching an NBA match amid the big Blues takeover decision on the horizon.
With bids for the Roman Abramovich ran club now in and being dealt with by the Raine Group, all the players like the supporters are anxiously and eagerly anticipating the final decision which could still be someway off yet. The likes of Todd Boehly's consortium, the Ricketts Family's collaboration with Ken Griffin, and Nick Candy are the so called front runners in the race but don't rule out the likes of the Saudi Media Group yet amongst a few others who could make the 3-4 consortia shortlist which could be released anytime soon.
Whilst the Raine Group prepare for the next stage of the whole takeover process, manager Thomas Tuchel and co will be relieved to be on a much needed international break following a tough run of fixtures - something they have answered in emphatic style with six wins on the bounce. Nevertheless, a break from the limelight is something Tuchel embraced when quizzed ahead of Middlesbrough.
