Most of the UK might have had their feet up on a day off for the bank holiday, but there was no rest for the Blues as they returned to the training pitch at a sunny Cobham.

Spirits were high among the Chelsea players following Saturday's 7-0 thrashing of Port Vale at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup quarter-finals, when Jorrel Hato, Joao Pedro, Tosin Adarabioyo, Andrey Santos, Estevao Willian and Alejandro Garnacho all got their names on the score sheet.

That sets up a mouth-watering semi-final at Wembley against old cup rivals Leeds United, but next on the Blues' agenda is a big Premier League fixture in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification, when Manchester City come to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

With a full week to work ahead of that massive game, Liam Rosenior and his squad kicked off their preparations in Surrey on Monday, getting under way in the bright spring weather on the last day of the Easter bank holiday.
