Chelsea have decided their preseason fixtures for this summer – at last.
It’s taken a quite ridiculously long time to sort them – but then again the club has some other issues to sort out right now. We won’t go into that here.
There are some interesting fixtures in there, but it’s quite a short list. After starting off in Australia we get much closer to home with a trip to France, then Ireland, then two games in London. Playing Lyon two days after the Community Shield is a little odd too.
At least doesn’t involve traipsing around South East Asia or the United States which is nice, but it does seem a little truncated. At least the new manager – should one ever actually be appointed – will get plenty of time on the training pitch with his new charges.
