Chelsea's head coach Xabi Alonso has reflected on the final pre-season friendly, which saw his side triumph 3-1 over Real Sociedad at Stamford Bridge.
The match was noteworthy for Morgan Rogers' debut goal, a brace from Joao Pedro, and a controversial moment involving Enzo Fernandez.
Xabi Alonso suggests a potential squad overhaul before the start of the Premier League.
Xabi Alonso stated:
This was a very good final preparation game. For some players, it was their first and last. We had some good moments, but there are areas to improve. It was nice to bring the whole team together, conduct our last test, and now we can prepare calmly for the match against Fulham.
Speculation in the media has linked Alonso's comments to impending departures from the club, with 20-year-old defender Josh Achiampong reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs.
