It was a beautiful morning for football at Cobham, with the sunshine enhancing the intensity of the session led by Enzo Maresca and his staff.
Unlike the rest of the week, the Chelsea squad didn’t have double training on Wednesday. However, the morning session extended well into the afternoon under the Surrey sun.
The training included a mix of ball work, a staple in Maresca’s sessions since day one, and exercises without the ball to strengthen muscles. Some exercises were done collectively, while others were tailored individually to meet each player’s needs.
Maresca has now had 10 days with his squad and is eager to see the results of his coaching when Chelsea faces Wrexham in Santa Clara in a week.
Benoit Badiashile finished last season well and he will be keen to pick up where he left off when the Blues resume match action during our USA tour.
Christopher Nkunku is another who showed glimpses of his ability during the closing weeks of 2023/24, and we will hear from the forward on this website in the coming days.
With training finished, it was time to take on some fluids and have a well-earned rest before the hard work starts all over again on Thursday, with a double training session scheduled.
As the preparations ramp up, the excitement for the upcoming fixtures is palpable among players and staff alike. With the first match of the USA tour just around the corner, the team is focused and ready to showcase their hard work and determination. The Chelsea faithful will be eagerly watching to see how their team performs under Maresca’s guidance, hoping for a promising start to the new season.
