On a day off for the bank holiday, most people in the UK would have been relaxing, but the Blues had no time to rest when they returned to the training field at a bright Cobham.
After Chelsea defeated Port Vale 7-0 at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Saturday, with goals from Jorrel Hato, Joao Pedro, Tosin Adarabioyo, Andrey Santos, Estevao Willian, and Alejandro Garnacho, the players’ spirits were high.
Next on the Blues’ schedule is a crucial Premier League match in the competition for UEFA Champions League qualifying, when Manchester City visits Stamford Bridge on Sunday. This sets up an enticing semi-final at Wembley versus former cup rivals Leeds United.
