Pre-season tour takeaways, Chavarria incoming & goodbye Trev
Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea showShow Notes
Two weeks to go...
Matt Davies Adams is joined by The Athletic's Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey for a look back on Chelsea's pre-season tour exploits following a final two matches in the Far East over the weekend.
We dissect the 3-0 win over Milan and the feisty 3-3 draw with Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta'zim - before a wider look at the main learnings for Xabi Alonso in their time on the road.
Could 'unicorn' Marco Palestra prove to be the signing of the season? Will Mike Penders be content to play back-up to Rob Sanchez? And should we be worried about the feelings of a clear A and B team amongst the squad?
Plus, we bid farewell to Cobham kid Trevoh Chalobah - who's signed for Cesc Fabregas' Como, ending a near 20-year association with the club. And - why Pep Chavarría could prove to be one of the Blues' most influential acquisitions.
We'll be back on Monday as we reflect on the visit of Real Sociedad AND gear up for the official return of the Premier League season!
