Chelsea release first pictures of Graham Potter's debut training session with the Blues on Friday... as the ex-Brighton manager gets to grips with his squad ahead of Wednesday's clash with RB Salzburg

Pictures from Graham Potter's first training session as Chelsea manager were released for the first time on Monday.

The 47-year-old head coach, who left Brighton for the Stamford Bridge hotseat on a five-year-deal last week, took Chelsea's first-team training on Friday less than 24 hours after officially signing for the club.

Chelsea initially withheld the pictures from his session as a mark of respect towards Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday.

In an effort to honour her passing, the Premier League decided to postpone all matches from last weekend, subsequently delaying Potter's first match in charge of Chelsea.
