The biggest challenge for Chelsea will be to be consistent in their tactics this season. New manager will hope for the team to avoid injuries this season.

Last season just like other big clubs of Premier League, Chelsea also suffered many injuries. In their North London derby game against Tottenham, Chelsea only had 14 first team players available. This problem did not allow Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino to play a consistent starting eleven. Many players find it difficult to adapt to these continuous change of tactics. Chelsea made a lot of young signings in the earlier seasons. Although this helped them to plan for the future, this become a problem later on. Many youngster were unable to adapt to the fast paced gameplay of the Premier League. Players like Romeo Lavia are yet to play their first minutes in the Premier League. They are now unable to sign more players due to the Profit and Sustainability rules (PSR) of the Premier League. These rules state that no club can make new signings without sales of players.
Chelsea Pre-season squad full of youngsters
Chelsea struggled a lot last season but they also found some positives. One of the big positives of last season was English youngster Cole Palmer. After coming to Chelsea from Manchester City reserves the pressure was immense on the youngster. However as people call him “Cold Palmer” he was quick to show his class with the ball. Palmer was competing for the top scorer of the Premier League for majority of season. The youngster thrived under the free role given to him by Chelsea boss. He also complemented their direct attack game style which awarded them lots of penalties. Cole Palmer was also somewhere instrumental for England’s Euro 24 run despite his lack of game time. Palmer gave the assist for Ollie Watkins last minute winner against Netherlands. In the penalty shootout against Switzerland, Palmer also stepped up to take penalty and scored. Palmer scored in the Euro final too.
Cole Palmer is not included in the pre season squad for Chelsea. Many players who were included in the international break like Enzo Fernandez are also not available. Chelsea will be facing majorly Celtic, Manchester City and Real Madrid in their pre season tour. These are some big fixtures for the new manager Enzo Maresca and the youngsters. Hopefully this tour will have a big positive impact on their players for the next season. Chelsea will also be facing Manchester City in the opening week of the Premier League. Fans will hope that the squad can find their footing before the big season ahead. Chelsea usually have disappointing pre season campaigns if we look in the past. The Blues will hope Enzo Maresca is able to figure out his optimal squad for the upcoming season. Reece James also has the chance to silence his haters after injury problems.
