Welcome to the first of two preseason friendlies this weekend. It’s Bayer Leverkusen tonight; AC Milan on Sunday afternoon. We’re expecting plenty of rotation so that everyone get a few semi-meaningful minutes into their legs ahead of the start of the new season next weekend. So let’s have a bit of fun, and avoid any sort of injury! Here we go.

Chelsea get their abridged pre-season underway with a clash against Bayer Leverkusen at Stamford Bridge. The Blues only returned to training on Monday after their Club World Cup triumph in the United States, and have just 13 days to prepare for their first Premier League game against Crystal Palace.
