Seven Chelsea players not involved in international duty are set to work with manager Xabi Alonso at the Cobham training ground during the break, giving them a chance to improve their fitness before the season resumes.

Seven Chelsea players not involved in international duty are set to work with manager Xabi Alonso at the Cobham training ground during the break, giving them a chance to improve their fitness before the season resumes. This comes after the team lost to Tottenham and Sunderland and fell behind in the race for the Premier League’s top four.
The report says several prominent players will not join their national teams, including Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck, while Reece James is out with a knee injury. Wesley Fofana, Emmanuel Emegha and Pep Chavara were also not called up, while João Pedro is short of match fitness.
The report says players who have not secured a place in the starting line-up will get a chance to impress Alonso, while Palmer and Colwill can regain their form after disappointing performances against Sunderland. Chelsea are due to host Leeds United on November 21, after the international break ends.
