Chelsea players spotted leaving nightclub in early hours ahead of West Ham game

Chelsea players made the most out of their weekend without a fixture by enjoying a night out on Thursday evening.

A number of Blues players were spotted leaving Raffles nightclub in Chelsea in the early hours as they prepare for their huge Premier League clash with London rivals West Ham on Monday night.

Defender Gary Cahill was the first player spotted leaving at around 1:30am, closely followed by young duo Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ethan Ampadu, who only turned 18 last September.

Out-of-favour midfielder Danny Drinkwater was spotted leaving with two women at 1:40am, clambering into a taxi with the blonde and brunette, whilst stylish striker Olivier Giroud stayed until around 2:25am.
