Abraham hoping for Chelsea chance as Giroud & Batshuayi prepare to return

The young England striker has been given a chance in pre-season by the new Blues boss but could still be heading out on loan

Tammy Abraham hopes that his pre-season performances have given him the chance to remain at Chelsea for the season, although he faces a tough battle for a place in the first team at Stamford Bridge.

Alvaro Morata started the Community Shield defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, while there is also the presence of Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi in Maurizio Sarri's squad.

Giroud and Batshuayi are returning to London this week and will have conversations with Sarri over their futures at the club.
