Chelsea's training session was open to cameras, revealing some notable presences and absences, with Moises Caicedo missing, according to Sky Sports' James Savundra. The absence is concerning as the team had Sunday off and Monday was a recovery day. Other players' presence or absence could be clarified in Xabi Alonso's pre-match press conference on Friday. The session's visibility was limited, as it was observed from afar.
Two Chelsea players returned to training: Emi Martinez, who had been out for a couple of weeks with a broken jaw, and Aaron Anselmino, who has had ongoing injury issues. Their return is seen as positive news. Chelsea's injury status can fluctuate, and the return of these players may impact the team's lineup and strategy.
Chelsea allowed cameras and media to their training session despite not having a European game that week. The presence or absence of certain players sparked speculation among fans and journalists. The session provided some insight into the team's status, but more information is expected from Xabi Alonso's press conference.
