The Chelsea squad has departed for Germany, minus Daniel Sturridge and Frank Lampard.

Youngster Sturridge misses out on the trip due to a minor ankle ligament injury while Lampard will join up with the group in Frankfurt later due to illness. New Uefa Under 19 European Championship winner Gael Kakuta will also link up with the squad during the five-day trip, which involves two matches, against Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday and Hamburg on Wednesday. FA Youth Cup-winning goalkeeper Sam Walker is also in the party, as is midfielder Josh McEachran.

Didier Drogba and summer signing Yossi Benayoun are also on the trip, but as Carlo Ancelotti confirmed yesterday, the foursome of Petr Cech, Jose Bosingwa, Alex and Deco all remain at home due to injury.

The full travelling squad is:
