The Frank Lampard at Chelsea era is firmly underway.
Several friendlies have taken place and a few more have been pencilled in ahead of the big Premier League opener against Manchester United at Old Trafford on August 11.
With that said, there's still plenty of exciting things for supporters to look forward to and here's the news emerging from Stamford Bridge over the last 24 hours.
Injury boost
Chelsea and Frank Lampard have been handed a massive injury boost with just under two weeks until the Premier League season gets underway.
Influential midfielder N'Golo Kante is back in full training.
This news comes just days after the France international sent back to England from Japan to continue his recovery as he's been struggling with the injury that almost ruled him out of last season's Europa League final.
Lampard's dream squad
The Blues have already added to their squad with the signing of Mateo Kovacic ahead of the new season but that will be it in terms of incomings due to their transfer ban.
Christian Pulisic has also joined up with the squad after spending the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund.
Although, there could be a few departures between now and deadline day.
With that said, here we take a look at how Lampard's Chelsea's squad could look this season with the opening game at Manchester United edging ever closer.
Hazard's seal of approval
Chelsea fans and Lampard needn't worry about finding a direct replacement for Eden Hazard.
And this comes from the player himself.
Hazard is of the opinion that Christian Pulisic - signed for £58m from Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window - is capable of filling the void he created.
"He can be one of the best in the future for sure," Hazard told The Associated Press."He can be (a star).
"Now he’s at one of the best clubs in the world.
"He’s a proper player. He can play football."
Kenedy's future
Kenedy, who spent last season on loan at Newcastle United, has now admitted that his dream is to become part of the Chelsea team and play a part in the upcoming campaign.
"I learned a lot from my time there," he said. "I was very happy with the amount I played.
"It was a great experience for me so I must say thanks to the club and the manager.
"Now I have to start again here at Chelsea and work hard, step by step.
"My hope now is to do a great season here at Chelsea. That is my dream."
