Chelsea are focused on their game against Sunderland today, with the Blues looking to keep up their return to form with a home win.
Preparations have been good on the whole – the Blues took down Ajax in midweek to keep a running win going. But it hasn’t all been easy. The Sun have an exclusive today which reveals that there was an incident at Cobham on Friday afternoon, just as the team prepared for their final session ahead of the game.
Fire services called to Cobham for false alarm
A chlorine sensing alarm in the swimming pool was set off, prompting all the first team players and staff to evacuate the main building at Cobham while it was investigated.
“The Chelsea players are understood already to have been in their training kit when the incident occurred,” the piece claimed.
Surrey Fire and Rescue services game to check things out – and found it was a false alarm. The team were able to go out and compete their session as normal. Who knows, maybe a disrupted session adds a little bit of novelty and excitement to the whole thing?

In other news….

We had a great chat with Sunderland site Roker Report on how today’s game could go, which you can read here. They think we will beat them pretty handily, which is always a nice sign.
