There was a notable special guest at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Thursday, as England manager Gareth Southgate dropped in to watch how the Premier League leaders prepare.
Southgate, whose side return to action next month with a tough friendly away to world champions Germany before a World Cup qualifer at home to Lithuania, was warmly welcomed by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.
Another man pleased to see Southgate was Nathaniel Chalobah, whose hopes of a senior call-up may be boosted by the friendly handshake he shared with Southgate.
Southgate knows Chalobah well, having regularly picked the defensive midfielder while he was in charge of England's under-21s team.
