A 23-man Chelsea squad arrived in Dublin this evening ahead of the pre-season fixture against Arsenal at the Aviva Stadium.
Included in the travelling party was Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who returned to training yesterday following his involvement at the World Cup with England.
Maurizio Sarri’s side opened our pre-season campaign with a 1-0 win over Perth Glory in Australia before beating Inter Milan on penalties, after a 1-1 draw, in Nice on Saturday.
Chelsea also met Arsenal as part of our pre-season preparations a year ago, in Beijing, with the Blues running out 3-0 winners.
