Croatia's Mateo Kovacic and Morocco's Hakim Ziyech returned to our Cobham training base this morning after being given some time off following their World Cup exploits.

Mateo was the player to return to the UK with the bragging rights over Hakim, after Croatia recorded a 2-1 victory over the African side to pick up the bronze medals in Qatar.

They have had a few days rest after returning from the Middle East, and they got back to work on Wednesday at our training base following our victory over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening.
