Club World Cup champions Chelsea begin their pre-season preparations with a game against German side Bayer Leverkusen next month.
The Blues – who defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the Club World Cup final last weekend – will face Leverkusen and Italian side AC Milan at Stamford Bridge, before hosting Crystal Palace on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
Enzo Maresca had found himself under pressure from some sections of the Chelsea faithful during the second half of the season but qualification for the Champions League – along with a Europa Conference League triumph and Club World Cup success – may have changed some opinions of the Italian.
Off the pitch, though, it has emerged that one key member of Maresca’s squad isn’t entirely happy.
According to Football Insider, striker Nicolas Jackson is unhappy at Stamford Bridge and is weighing up his future at the club.
