Mauricio Pochettino's empty threat: Chelsea stars fly in helicopters and visit old clubs on day off - hours after boss publicly 'cancelled it' as an apparent punishment for their 4-1 Newcastle horror show

Mauricio Pochettino's threat to cancel Chelsea's days off after their 4-1 defeat by Newcastle appeared hollow after their stars enjoyed trips away from the club's Cobham training ground.

Mykhailo Mudryk shared an Instagram video from a helicopter while Nicolas Jackson linked up with his former Villarreal team-mates in Spain.

That's despite Pochettino claiming they would 'train early in the morning and not have a day off' after they were dismantled in the second half at St James' Park.

'We were talking in the dressing room after the game, we should go directly to the hotel and sleep, and start to train early in the morning and not have a day off,' said Pochettino.
