Wenger's said his German players are likely to miss the beginning of the season for additional recovery time. Wondering if Mourinho will follow suit with Schurrle..

It makes me think if Drogba organize it?

It is written organized by IMG-Dogus AS. Doubt it Drogba involved, should be Galatasaray isn't it?

Anyway interesting to see how Jose will rotate the whole squad on 3 match (2 x 90 min) in 2 days

Why is Chelsea not in USA this summer?

Why is Chelsea not in USA this summer?

Air miles after a long WC, staying closer to home and also allowing players to ease into pre-season without having to worry about serious flying time.
