Obviously, most of them are the returning loanees but Tuchel got to train with 28 players today, according to The Athletic's Simon Johnson.

Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea squad were boosted by the return to pre-season training of many senior players today, including Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Edouard Mendy.

The trio joined Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, Marcos Alonso and Tino Anjorin who all reported back on Friday, as the pre-season work continued at Cobham. Kepa Arrizabalaga was another back in action today.

There were 28 players involved at our Surrey training base today, with returning loanees such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Danny Drinkwater, Davide Zappacosta and Conor Gallagher among those pictured in action.

Malang Sarr, who joined from Nice last summer and spent the season on loan at Porto, was involved with the group, as were youngsters Marc Guehi, Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja following impressive loan spells away from Stamford Bridge last season.

Which face are people most surprised to see back at Cobham? Charly Musonda took me aback. He'd fallen right out of my mind.

Shouldn't Sarr prepare for Olympics?

Is Ramsey any good? I don't see our set pieces at the level of 2008-12.

Wasn't him playing there blocked by the club?

Looking forward to that

Arsenal were absolutely shambolic in a loss to Hibs. Missed 3 sitters my nan would have belted in, a pen, and the keeper made an absolute howler to let in a goal. Arteta is my favourite to get the first sacking of the season.I still cannot fathom how we keep losing to these cunts. I would LOVE to see Arse and Spuds get relegated in a couple years. Banter FC's

Shittest thing is it could happen again on matchday 2 as they have most of their players back early while a lot of ours at the Euro's so will come back late.

Just the English lads and Jorginho. We should be fine I reckon.

Arsenal going down would be life threateningly funny. Died laughing is not a bad way to go but Spurs being relegated would cost me too much. Can't live without my twice a season Spurs fix. Impossible.

Meanwhile back to Hibs. Is mid July too soon for popcorn and AFTV?
