Chelsea are facing Championship side Reading in a friendly at their Cobham training ground today as Frank Lampard's side gear up for the Premier League's return.
The Blues, who will resume looking to hold onto their place in the top four buoyed by the news of Timo Werner's imminent signing from RB Leipzig, pick up their season with a trip to Aston Villa on Sunday, June 21.
Lampard is once more working with a full strength squad in training after N'Golo Kante resumed working with the group this week, having previously steered clear due to fears over the coronavirus protocols.
The Chelsea manager will be keen to see how sharp the likes of Tammy Abraham, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christian Pulisic are after the enforced break gave them the chance to continue their respective recoveries from injury.
Clubs have been given permission to arrange friendlies against sides within a 90-minute drive, with players arriving individually by car, and no officials provided from outside the two teams.
Chelsea could also face fellow west Londoners QPR - who are facing West Ham today - before the Premier League season resumes.
