It was a quick turnaround for Chelsea following their drawn out FA Cup win over Plymouth Argyle.
The Blues took 120 minutes, 41 shots and an extra time winner from Marcos Alonso to overcome their League One opponents on Saturday, before flying out to Abu Dhabi on the same day to begin preparations for the Club World Cup.
Chelsea sent a 23-man squad out to the United Arab Emirates, with Edouard Mendy expected to join later in the week following his AFCON success as the 24th member.
Thomas Tuchel is also missing from the group of course after testing postive for Covid-19.
Nevertheless the Blues were out on the training pitches on Sunday making use of the facilities at the Ritz Carlton.
