Apparently Broja will "look to join up with the squad" next week ... 

No Maatsen - clearly he'd be behind Emerson in the left back pecking order ... Gallagher, Vale, Colwill, Gilmour, Ampadu, Anjorin all included, as is young keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe. Also Batsman and Barkley !

Should add that RLC and Kante aren't going due to their Covid vaccination status ... presumably not jabbed ... 

Nice to see Vale & Anjorin in the squad and also Billy & Ethan being given a chance to impress.

Yes - TT prepared to give the youth a chance if they are good enough.

A few that didn't make the plane after the Cobham training sessions this week (there may be others, but these are the ones whose training photos appeared on the club web site):

• Henry Lawrence
• Charlie Webster
• Dujon Sterling
• Lewis Hall
• Ian Maatsen
• Mason Burstow

Bloody hell, forgot Batman was still with us!

He's still got more Chelsea goals than any of the other six LOL (actually I think Pulisic has the same number, but from 40 odd more appearances)

Usually i wouldn't be too bothered about Maatsen (i can see some potential but nowhere near as convinced as i was with James and am with Colwill) but given it likely means Emerson as Chilwell's immediate back up, erghhh.

Disappointed he has not taken Sterling and Maatsen. Maybe he has told Alonso and Dave they are staying 1 more season.

CHO stating he has gotten stronger and faster than he’s ever been before and that he is ready. 
 

Glad he’s hitting his 2 year contract mark because he better hit the ground running.

Yeah if we give him a new deal it should not be much of an increase.

Training camp at UCLA then first pre season match in Vegas next week, got tickets & hotel 5 min walk from Stadium , chuffed the full squad has travelled (- Kante & RLC) . Let’s get Sterling in time for the game please ! 

I was just checking Winston Bogarde wasn’t in the squad!!

He's joining next week with Broja apparently.

What’s anti-vax conspiracy theorist Ruben Loftus-Cheek going to do now then?, FaceTime/Zoom meeting of training sessions.. train with the u21’s…

Bit strong, its his choice to have what he wants in his body without being an 'anti-vax conspiracy theorist'.

I would've had him back and played him earlier. What wasn't so good back then would be an improvement of the last season or so up front there.

Was being tongue-in-cheek there, should have made it more obvious. 

Still wondering what the plan is for him, as he’s essentially grounded in the UK now, in what is preparation for yet another season where he needs to prove himself all over again. Not the best start to the season. 

Add Sterling 🤗

Most countries will let him in with a negative test, some not even that (for example Portugal if we draw Benfica/Porto/Sporting).

Dujon Sterling is actually going?

No surprises with that squad.  Excited to see Colwill and Gallagher in Chelsea blue.

Opened up a match thread for the Vegas game.  See @General is going - anyone else going to this game or any others?  Definitely a good stadium for a pregame beer.

WTF, Michy Batshuayi and Kennedy are still with us, talk about how hard it is to get rid of players, even for free.

Imagine how much the weekly outgoings are for the hidden/hiding players.

Baba Rahman. Matt Miazga and Kenedy ... all signed in 2015/16 LOL. Stealing a living for 7 seasons ... 

Apart from Dave and RLC they are our "longest serving"players LOL
