Tuchel welcomes his players back to training

Thomas Tuchel was boosted by the return of a few more faces at training today, as those Blues involved at international level reported for duty at Cobham.

Beautiful April weather greeted the squad at our Surrey training base this afternoon and the likes of Olivier Giroud, Mateo Kovacic and Reece James all returned to action.

Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Tammy Abraham all continued their recoveries from injury and were involved in the session, as were the likes of Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, other young stars.
