Chelsea's recent training session, opened to media, revealed a significant absence and two notable returns. Sky Sports reported that Moises Caicedo was not present, sparking concern among observers, although multiple non-injury reasons for his absence are possible. This comes after the squad likely had a recovery day.

On a positive note, Argentine players Emi Martinez, who had been sidelined for several weeks due to a broken jaw, and Aaron Anselmino, recovering from persistent injury problems, both made their return to the training group. Furthermore, Chelsea is reportedly looking to bolster their central midfield, with a rising star from Everton identified as a potential transfer target. This development follows Morgan Rogers' impressive start to his career at Chelsea.
