Chelsea players and some staff returned to Cobham on Tuesday afternoon to begin small group training, in line with the Premier League's return-to-training protocols and UK Government guidelines on social distancing.
Premier League shareholders voted unanimously on Monday in favour of a return to socially distanced training, with players allowed to work together in groups of five.
Officials needed at least 14 positive votes to press ahead with phase one of the return to training, in which all contact between players remains banned.
And Chelsea wasted no time in taking advantage of the new allowances, their players pictured working together in small groups at training ground.
