Chelsea are just over 24 hours away from getting their first pre-season friendly of the tour of the United States underway.
The Blues will take on Wrexham for the second season in a row, and there is actually a lot of discontent amongst the fanbase over the squad Enzo Maresca will have at his disposal.
Trevoh Chalobah has been left gutted after he was not selected to be part of the travelling squad, with the club looking to find a new club for him this summer.
While supporters were left frustrated at this decision, there are no doubt a number of positives that supporters can take from the plethora of fixtures to come.
Moises Caicedo added to Chelsea’s pre-season squad

They were given another one late last night when a tweet on Chelsea’s official Twitter page showed Moises Caicedo back amongst the first team over in the United States.
The Ecuador international is just weeks on from his country’s exit at the Copa America, where he performed well enough to be named in the Team of the Group Stage.
Caicedo was described last season as ‘sensational’, as he continued to grow into the season as the weeks went on.
He became one of the first names on the teamsheet for Mauricio Pochettino as his side eventually secured European football.
Dewsbury-Hall could make first Chelsea appearance
It looks unlikely at this stage that the club-record signing will feature in any capacity tonight against Wrexham, given the fact he is yet to take part in a training session under new manager Maresca.
The midfield could well see Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall make his first appearance for his new club since his summer switch.
There is also potential for Andrey Santos to gain some minutes in the middle of the park, even though he is reportedly set for a loan move away from the club this summer to Strasbourg again.
