Chelsea fans have all been counting down the days until the international break is over, and they can see their side in Premier League action again.
The wait is nearly over, with it being tomorrow that Enzo Maresca takes his side on the road to the South Coast to take on Bournemouth.
The Italian is going to have to come up with a solution to a number of injury problems. The Blues don’t seem to have a recognised first team right-back fit to feature.

It is difficult to say if the break came at a good time for Chelsea. Their last result was a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge against Crystal Palace, a game in which they were by far the better team.
It seems as if the first game after an international break has not been the most desirable fixture for the Blues to get three points on the board.
Chelsea without win after international break
According to Chelsea’s official website, they are without a win after a break for international duty since the first game after the World Cup in December 2022.
The Blues obviously have a chance to rectify this tomorrow night, and Maresca could be keen to hand out some first starts or debuts for the club.
Jadon Sancho pushing for Chelsea debut
Jadon Sancho has been working with his new teammates and manager while a lot of the side were off representing their countries, with him seeming to impress Maresca already.
There is plenty of competition for places in the attacking positions at Chelsea already, with Noni Madueke one of those forcing his way into the side off the back of an excellent start to the campaign.
This also saw him earn his first call up to the senior England side, with the national media already very impressed by just a cameo appearance on his debut against Finland.
