Centre-back Trevoh Chalobah has sent a message as Chelsea look to bounce back from their first defeat of the season with a strong performance against Juventus in the Champions League.
Although Manchester City only won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Thomas Tuchel's side were comfortably second best, and he will now be eager to bounce back straight away.
After lifting the most treasured trophy in European football back in May, Chelsea's defence of the Champions League got off to a good start against Zenit St. Petersburg, a Romelu Lukaku header enough for a 1-0 win.
Juventus are adapting to life without Cristiano Ronaldo and it has been a slow start to the 2021-22 season for Max Allegri - the Old Lady currently sit ninth in Serie A - but a 3-0 win away to Malmo got their Champions League campaign off to a strong start.
Chalobah was not called upon during the Blues' weekend defeat. Thiago Silva was selected to replace Reece James after the right-back limped off in the first half following a collision with Jack Grealish.
But whenever the 22-year-old has played, he has impressed, not least when firing in a long-range goal against Crystal Palace on the opening day of the season.
His message ahead of the Champions League clash was a simple one as well, simply sharing a photo of himself in training along with the caption: "Monday motivation."
Competition for places among Chelsea's back-three is fierce, with Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Thiago Silva all coming in for a lot of praise so far this season.
But with four competitions to compete in, Chalobah will likely continue to be called upon.
