As some of you may already know, today marks the start of Chelsea’s 2014-15 Pre season training. You may be thinking “Who cares” but really this is one of the most exciting days of the season.
With the likes of Fabregas having just joined the club and Diego Costa being just around the corner, we will finally get the chance to see how they gel into the camp. It is important to keep note that due to the World Cup taking place, not all players will be at Pre Season training from Day 1.
This will most likely be any players who didn’t make it past the last 16 stage of the World Cup. Therefore, expect to see a large majority of the camp still missing.
So what else makes the start of Pre Season training so interesting? Well to start with it means that Chelsea’s Pre Season Tour is just around the corner (7 days to be exact), it gives us the license to get stoked about Chelsea again, we get to see clips of the players in training, being interviewed and much more!
Here is a list with the dates of the Pre Season matches; (GMT Times)
Wednesday 16th July – Wycombe Wanderers vs Chelsea (19:45)
Saturday 19th July – AFC Wimbledon vs Chelsea (15:00)

As you can see, Chelsea’s schedule is abosultely packed with matches over the next month! What’s great about this Pre Season as well, is the fact that the matches will be on TV during times of the day where most people will be awake and able to watch them.
Expect the majority of the players currently not with the camp to be back training again by Sunday 27th July. Bring on the new season!
