With the international break upon us already, Chelsea fans will be forced to wait nearly two weeks before they see their side in action again.
Enzo Maresca has already experienced all three results as a Premier League manager, with the Blues getting off to a pretty average start to the season.
What was not average however was the calibre of player they were able to attract over the summer, with a number of their new additions already making their mark.
While the signing of Victor Osimhen was not completed on deadline day, they were able to bring in one new recruit in the final hours of the transfer window.
Jadon Sancho came in for a cut-price deal, as the Blues secured the exit of Raheem Sterling on a temporary basis.
Jadon Sancho trains for first time at Chelsea
The winger was seen at Stamford Bridge for their last game against Crystal Palace, however it was to soon for him to be involved in any capacity.
It looks as if he is ready to get to work though. Journalist Kieran Gill has claimed that Sancho is in training for the first time today.
He said: “Told Jadon Sancho is training with Chelsea team-mates today at Cobham. Enzo Maresca will work with Sancho and other non-internationals over break.
“Players given yesterday off for recovery after Crystal Palace game. Potential debut at Bournemouth on September 14.”
Sancho is facing plenty of competition to break into the Chelsea side on a regular basis, with a number of attacking options already at the club.
Sancho competing with Noni Madueke for minutes
There is certainly no doubting just how good the England international can be though. Neymar has previously described him as ‘special’.
One player he will be competing for minutes with is Noni Madueke, whose excellent start to the season has just been rewarded with a place in the England squad.
Sancho will no doubt have desires of being an international again, and has the best opportunity to do that now he has left Manchester United.
