Chelsea continued their preparations ahead of their Premier League match against Leicester City on Saturday lunchtime.

Enzo Maresca takes his side to the Midlands for the early kick-off this weekend as he faces his former club for the first time since leaving for Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are without just one player against the Foxes. Reece James is sidelined with a hamstring problem which he received during training on Tuesday.

“We don’t want to take any risks for this weekend and hopefully it’s not too far,” admitted Maresca.

Maresca gave hope to Romeo Lavia, who missed Belgium’s games against France and Israelahead of the weekend, with the midfielder involved in Chelsea training on Thursday at Cobham.

The likes of Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer were among several Blues to withdraw from international duty, but the duo trained at their Cobham base, as did Jadon Sancho. The 24-year-old has been sidelined due to illness and a minor knock, but is in contention to face Steve Cooper’s side.

Pedro Neto came back early from the Portugal camp after Roberto Martinez allowed him to withdraw to stay fresh. He will push for a starting role after his recent form. Neto scored the equalizer against Arsenal to take a point in his last league game.

Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez also returned from international duty and trained with the Blues on Thursday.
