The Blues are back! Chelsea's 2025/26 campaign is underway as the world champions returned to training at Cobham today, with our photographer on hand to capture the best images from the session.

Enzo Maresca, his coaching staff and the players had a well-earned break following our triumph in the USA, but it was back to work on Monday as preparations began for the new season.

Among the group training today were Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens, whose transfers to Chelsea were confirmed during the Club World Cup. Liam Delap and Dario Essugo, who signed on the eve of the tournament, were also acclimatising to their new surroundings for the first time.

They were joined by the likes of Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, and here we bring you 25 pictures to mark the beginning of 2025/26!

Chelsea fans have the chance to celebrate our hugely successful 2024/25 campaign with players from both our men's team and women's team at an exclusive event at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. Get your tickets now.

Then the Blues return to match action later this week when we take on Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan in the VisitMalta Weekender at Stamford Bridge! Click here for tickets.
