Covering: Attila Szalai to Chelsea? Current centre back situations, When John Terry rescued Chelsea Women's, Blues players in Dubai with Barkley working overtime, and our general news sweep up...
Good morning guys, it’s Friday, it’s the weekend! I’ll cheers to that!
Unfortunately though it is not a Chelsea weekend being the international break, so we will have to get our football fix from the national sides, and England are on tonight.
No Mason Mount of course, but I’m hearing that Ben Chilwell IS expected to start.
The Chelsea players have been given a week off by Thomas Tuchel this week for recovery, but I can tell you that although Ross Barkley has some beautiful warm weather and scenery in Dubai, he is doing anything but resting.
Timo Werner and a few others are also out in Dubai this week using the time wisely, you can read all about that here.
So, Attila Szalai to Chelsea? Massive claims in Turkey that a deal is close for the 23-year old Hungarian international to join Chelsea in January. Read all about that here and what I know/have been told by Turkish sources on this situation.
And sticking with the theme of centre backs, the situation is far from ideal for our current ones right now, so I’ve got a report on that general situation and my views on it here.
Finally, a really nice little story on John Terry from 2009 to brighten up your Friday morning, and it is a story that I guarantee not many people will remember/would have known about. So please do check that one out here.
Finally, finally, our general news sweep up going through any other little Chelsea snippets you may have missed here including all the Frank Lampard and Joe Edwards news that I broke first to you guys before it was released anywhere else by anyone else!
Have a really great weekend guys, Si.
