With the majority of the Chelsea squad away on international duty with their countries, we look at those who will continue to work at Cobham in the days ahead as the Blues gear up for the business end of the season.

It has been a busy period for the Blues since the last international break in November, with Mauricio Pochettino's side reaching the Carabao Cup final, the FA Cup semi-finals, and remaining in the hunt for the European places in the Premier League.

And while we wait for domestic football to resume, Pochettino will continue to work with a strong group of individuals at our Surrey training base, with Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Raheem Sterling, Robert Sanchez, Deivid Washington, Benoit Badishile, Marcus Bettinelli, Alfie Gilchrist and Axel Disasi all remaining at Cobham.

Marc Cucurella was also set to stay at Cobham, but after impressive performances for the Blues since his return from injury - including his first goal for the club on Sunday against the Foxes - the 25-year-old has earned a call-up to the Spain squad.

After a day off on Monday, those not away with their countries regrouped at Cobham to undertake recovery work and training. The players will continue to train in the days ahead and activities will ramp up next week as we prepare for the visit of Burnley in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Lesley Ugochukwu, Christopher Nkunku, Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia will be stationed at our Surrey training base as they all continue their recovery and rehabilitation programmes hoping to make an impact in the future.
