Chelsea have completed their preparations for Sunday’s London derby against Arsenal.
The Blues go into the game at the Emirates Stadium on the back of a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend, as they kicked off their 2021/22 Premier League campaign in style.
Ahead of the game in north London, the likes of Kai Havertz, Ben Chilwell, and Reece James were put through their paces in training at Cobham.
As expected the squad were in good spirits, which should come as no surprise, after they comfortably beat Palace as well as lifting the UEFA Super Cup last week thanks to a penalty shootout win over Villarreal.
And as evidenced by Edouard Mendy and Mason Mount, there appears to be some close bonds forging in Tuchel’s squad.
As spotted on Reddit, the former gave the latter a piggy-back ride during Friday’s session and it brought about some wholesome responses.
dude179 said: “Mendy carrying the future Ballon d’Or winner.”
Processa said: “Chelsea players like family members.”
mikevin99 said: “I swear Mount seems like he’s best friends with everyone in the club from every video or pic I see. Must be such a personable guy
jmoneyallstar11 said: “I was thinking the same thing. Everyone also says their best mates with Mase. Chilly, Tammy, even Cholobah.”
Both Mendy and Mount started against Palace last week and are in contention to retain their places in the starting XI for the short trip across London to the Emirates.
