A new week. A new coast. And another new U.S. city for Thomas Tuchel and his Chelsea players. Orlando – and its stifling humidity – will play host to the Blues for much of the next week as they continue their rigorous preparations for the 2022/23 campaign.
Chelsea flew out from Las Vegas to the East Coast of the United States on Sunday, which was a somewhat relaxed day after the pre-season friendly against Club America the previous evening. However, not every member of the squad was aboard the plane that left Sin City.
As exclusively revealed by football.london, a shock decision was taken to send Billy Gilmour and Harvey Vale to Salt Lake City to join up with the Development Squad. Tino Anjorin also didn't travel to Orlando as he finalises a loan move. The injured Armando Broja, meanwhile, flew back to the United Kingdom late on Sunday. Strong interest remains in his services.
