Chelsea have been keen to try and avoid the headache of having a first pre-season campaign under Pochettino complicated by players being split into too many different groups at Cobham.
Chelsea’s new head coach is working with those he wants to proceed with which will be added to this week. Summer striker signing from Villarreal, Nicolas Jackson, joined on Tuesday.
Another group being led by former goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini contains a number of last season’s loanees and younger players who Chelsea are also open to offers for.
Delaying the comebacks of their unwanted stars was one solution being considered to prevent the need for a further group of players to also be in training at the same time and any potential awkwardness around the club’s Cobham HQ.
