Chelsea are gearing up for the return of club football following the international break. Manager Xabi Alonso needs to address the team's poor form after a disappointing defeat to Brentford.
On October 10, the Blues will host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, marking the start of a challenging fixture list. If results fail to improve, the pressure on the Spanish coach will intensify. Fans will also be keeping a keen eye on Bournemouth's Alex Scott, who has been of significant interest to the London club.
In the coming days, there will be updates regarding the fitness of injured players. The coaching staff are awaiting the return of Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer to training, while the long-awaited return of Moises Caicedo is also anticipated. Marko Palestra and Emmanuel Emega have already resumed training.
During the international break, some Chelsea players gained valuable playing time. Pedro Neto and Estevao racked up important minutes, and Morgan Rogers even found the back of the net.
