And it’s not been the ideal start for Enzo Maresca’s side after Levi Colwill suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the first session back.
Nevertheless, Chelsea will look to get some valuable minutes in their legs, with summer signings Estevao and Jorrel Hato potentially set to play their first minutes for the club.
