Yesterday bought some very good news in a Chelsea sense as some key players that Chelsea fans have not seen for a long time re-joined full training for the first time.
Pre-season has really started now at Chelsea as many more of the players returned back to Cobham to begin the hard work ahead of a new season yesterday.
Sources: Chelsea signing smart is not forced or new, but missing out on UCL was a big stumble – Inside Chelsea 👀
Enzo Maresca put the players through their paces with some conditioning, fitness, and ball-work on ‘day one’ of the new pre-season.

A huge boost for Maresca, Chelsea in general, and the fan base was seeing the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, and Romeo Lavia all fully involved in training yesterday.
Fofana missed the whole season, Lavia missed the majority of it, and Chilwell and James both missed huge chunks of it.
So having them all back in training yesterday is massive ahead of the new campaign.
