Tiemoue Bakayoko

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if the club intentionally didn't mention anything about his rumored injury as to not take the shine off his signing right away. You hear nothing but "Chelsea signed a fuxking crock," from everyone.

Instead we'll quietly mention it in a few day when he links up fully with the squad.

However it’s understood that Bakayoko, who arrived in a £40million deal from Monaco, is currently injured and will not be able to feature. He is still recovering from an operation on a minor knee problem.

His injury is not serious.. He is rumoured to return in a few week. And he is 22.. So should we have risked to miss out on a 22 year old guy just because has a minor injury right now? Even if we only look at the forthcoming season, he'll be ready in September.

Bakayoko stay in London to work on fitness. No mention of any injury.

All I care about is if he's fit enough to play at Wembley against Spurs, but preferably before the community shield. We're gonna heavily rely on him as a major outlet against pressing teams. His ability to retain the ball under pressure through a smart turn or one or two dribbles is invaluable in these type of matches. He dominated the Spurs midfield last year in the CL.

So still no update on his situation? I see him in what I assume is the rehab center at Cobham with Hazard in those pics with Morata.

Training at Cobham today

Cahill has got competition for the biggest biceps at Chelsea cup.

Really hope he's fit and integrated in the side before we play Spuds.

Ahh baby Patrick Viera. Going to be a big player for us. 

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Low-key more excited for him than any of our other signings. He's going to be an absolute game changer in big games, I'm absolutely sure of that. Conte is also perfect for his development. I think the defensive aspect of his game and his technique are already very good (though he can improve on receiving the ball in deep areas of the pitch), and his passing game has got real potential to easily be above average.
