Chelsea enjoy rare reset and eight-day break after 'relentless run'
- Published
Chelsea will be only just back from their mid-season break when Liam Rosenior speaks to the media to preview Saturday's home match against Burnley.
After a relentless run of midweek fixtures since the September international break, Chelsea have finally had eight days to prepare for a game - with players given permission to take short overseas holidays.
Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana, Joao Pedro, Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella all travelled to Dubai, while Alejandro Garnacho chose Egypt for some winter sun.
Allowing the squad time away appears an obvious decision, given most of them played in the Club World Cup and had only 35 days between seasons - the shortest break ever recorded for Chelsea.
It will be interesting to see how the team look after this reset, and how Rosenior - who has experienced a whirlwind start since arriving in early January - has used the time.
Come back to this page later on Thursday for all the key lines from Rosenior.
