Trevoh Chalobah: I couldn't believe it when the ball went in. I just dropped to my knees. I was over the moon. I didn't know it was in until the crowd cheered.

Raphinha's agent is Deco, who obviously has
#cfc
connections of his own.Worth noting his relationship w/Jorge Mendes, given report of Boehly's meeting.
"Jorge is one of my best friends. We always collaborate. If it's important for both of us, let's not stop working together..."
As reported by
@NizaarKinsella
, understand Charlie Webster has been given the go-ahead to go on loan to Heerenveen.
Good that it looks sewn up quickly for his first move away from the club and an opportunity to impress
#CFC
Triggering Lewis Hall's extension (as
@FelixJohnston_
first reported) gave
#cfc
breathing room but to avoid past errors a new deal must be on the horizon.
Pivotal summer for many at Chelsea and a chance for the new hierarchy to truly show their approach.
Reece James in his programme notes: "we welcome back Ross Barkley, who is a great player and really good person. He was one of the main people that helped me settle in when I first stepped into the first team setup here."
#cfc
Looks like a
#cfc
XI for tomorrow - Gusto, Chalobah, Humphreys, Cucurella, Casadei, Santos, Moreira, Chukwuemeka, Maatsen, Jackson. 4231. Bergstrom in net for the moment.
RLC and Kante named in the
#CFC
squad this evening alongside Miazga and Rahman.
Two triallists in there, a new signing and plenty of talent who trained with the first team earlier this summer likee Lewis Hall, Mason Burstow and Charlie Webster.
Carney Chukwuemeka on making his debut: "It feels amazing, playing for the club I supported growing up. It's a dream come true, I thank god, all of my teammates, my family, my friends, the gaffer for trusting me and believing in me, the first of many hopefully."
#CFC
Cesar Azpilicueta thought it might be time for a new chapter away from Chelsea but is set to be the club's leader on and off the pitch in a new era.
The
#cfc
captain is thankful to the new owners.
Werner on
#CFC
: "I had two great years at Chelsea for which I am very grateful and which ended with the Champions League title. The experience of playing in another country and another league helped me a lot on my way."
Todd Boehly and Jonathan Goldstein watched Chelsea training earlier, while Charlie Webster was involved in the first team session.
Carney Chukwuemeka was back in action too.
#cfc
Ange Postecoglou and Vincent Kompany get on the Chelsea shortlist and then Celtic draw at home to Motherwell and Burnley lose at home for the first time all season
#cfc
More Werner after leaving:"My time in England looks worse than it actually was.I was
#CFC
top scorer in my 1st season and we won the Champions League. You couldn’t really add much more.The 2nd season was quite unlucky. I think I set a record for the most goals disallowed by VAR"
"I am not going to run when things are going badly. I want to be one of the reasons that helps us get back to the best Chelsea."
Had the plreasure of speaking to Ben Chilwell and couldn't help but be impressed
#cfc
Christopher Nkunku, Wesley Fofana, Noni Madueke, Carney Chukwuemeka and Benoit Badiashile all finding their seats behind the
#CFC
dugout at the moment.
Tuchel on Gallagher: "This is life in a big club like Chelsea, so everything is in its right place.We are happy with him. He keeps on fighting, and this is what he does. I think he has everything to become very important in the next years at Chelsea."
#cfc
Brendan Rodgers on whether Wesley Fofana will still be at Leicester come the end of the transfer window: “I don’t think so far ahead. The idea is that he is very much a Leicester player. He’s not for sale. Unless anything changes, I would expect him to be here."
#CFC
#CFC
confirm another 2 years for Cesar Azpilicueta.
Todd Boehly: "We are so happy that Cesar is staying at Chelsea for a minimum of two more years. We are thrilled with our captain showing his exemplary commitment and leadership yet again. There is still so much to do together."
Saul: 'I am very excited to start this new challenge with Chelsea. Blues fans, I am one of you now and I can’t wait to wear the shirt, start training and see all of you. See you soon!'

Asked
@GabrielSlonina
who he is looking forward to joining at
#CFC
"Working with Edouard Mendy, it's going to be unreal to see what he does in training, how he handles the ball, what he's doing before play gets to him. Analysing him before he works, it's going to be incredible."
No Raheem Sterling or David Datro Fofana in
#cfc
training this morning. The latter obviously not in UCL squad.
Kova, Zakaria, W. Fofana, Koulibaly all train
Had the pleasure of speaking to
@masonmount_10
this morning as he launched the MOUNTchandise pop-up along with
@Tog4ShortLives
A great charity that the
#cfc
star is clearly passionate about.
Big group of
#cfc
players out to see the pitch.
Reece James and Ben Chilwell as usual. Levi Colwill, Andrey Santos, Mykhailo Mudryk, Axel Disasi, Malo Gusto and Lesley Ugochukwu too.
Sevilla on Kounde injury: As was scheduled several weeks ago, Jules Koundé will undergo an operation on Tuesday in Bordeaux for a minor pelvis injury. In principle, if everything goes as expected, the French international will be available for the start of the 22/23 season.
#cfc
Thought Ruben Loftus-Cheek provided a monstrous performance this afternoon. Unplayable at times.
Reece James continues to provide Chelsea's class.
#CFC
Not watching the game today but great to see Trevoh Chalobah getting some love on the timeline. Often treated harshly but good to hear he's playing well in an up and down performance
#cfc
"We are bulding something special."
Had the opportunity to sit down with Mauricio Pochettino where he opened up on Chelsea, sleeping better, Spurs and PSG.
#cfc
Feels pretty mad that Ross Barkley even made 100 appearances for
#cfc
Actually showed some good moments when he got his chance last season but the right move for club and player today.
Pochettino - We are happy for fans, they enjoy the game. Of course, never happy when a coach concedes goals. Goals that is normal, it is the beginning, only two and half weeks of work. I am happy, I have seen many positive things, we are showing great attitude
