Maresca’s Mudryk moment, George trains and things spotted in Chelsea training

The Enzo Maresca Chelsea regime is now fully up and running in the capital. Monday marked the return of the Chelsea team to the club’s Cobham base for the first day of pre-season training ahead of the new campaign.

The Blues may still be missing a handful of players due to their involvement at either Euro 2024 or the Copa America this summer but the vast majority of the squad were present to begin their summer work. The first day of training also meant that summer additions Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Omari Kellyman could met their new teammates for the first time.




As is always the case on the first day of pre-season training, the players underwent medical and physical tests following their summer break. The first day of pre-season training wasn’t just about testing, however, as Maresca and his players were then straight down to business with the ball on the training pitch.

Following the return to training for Chelsea’s players, football.london runs you through five things we spotted from the video footage and photos released by the club.

Maresca makes his mark

Following his appointment as Chelsea head coach at the beginning of June, Maresca had the opportunity to work with his Chelsea squad for the very first time on Monday. Not only a chance to meet the players at his disposal heading into the 2023/24 campaign, the Italian also had the opportunity to immediately make his mark and outline his vision to the team as they aim to challenge towards the top of the Premier League once again.

The video footage published by the club highlights that Maresca is very hands-on when it comes to work on the training pitch as he could be seen directing his players and implementing his style of play. That was noticed by a number of Chelsea fans on social media and they duly praised the new boss for his work with the players.

Maresca quite clearly had plenty to say to his squad on day one of pre-season and one of his messages that was clear for all to hear in the footage outlined the importance of their work in training. He said: “Now is the moment we need to work…everyday, everyday, everyday….”.
