Chelsea squad trains in Abu Dhabi just 24 hours after their FA Cup tie against Plymouth as the London side prepare for their Club World Cup campaign

Chelsea players have been pictured training in Abu Dhabi as their Club World Cup campaign gets underway this week.

Just 24 hours after their FA Cup fourth round tie against Plymouth ended, the squad trained with the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque as the backdrop.

The team made the 3,500 mile trip on Saturday after beating Plymouth in extra time but Thomas Tuchel did not join them as he tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
