Chelsea 0–1 Juventus, Mudryk returns
Your team lost again. Chelsea 0–1 Juventus in Hong Kong on Wednesday, Edon Zhegrova's rocket in the 68th minute the difference (1) (6) (7). That is two pre-season defeats in a row now, with zero goals scored in either (6) (7).
Mudryk back after nearly two years
Mykhailo Mudryk played for Chelsea for the first time in nearly two years after his doping ban ended (2) (3) (5). Xabi Alonso called it "emotional" (2). The fans made their feelings clear too, a warm reception for the Ukrainian (5).
Alonso: progress is there, performance wasn't
Alonso did not sugarcoat it. He admitted the performance was poor but insisted the team is making progress (4). Moises Caicedo got an 8 in the player ratings, and Quenda and Estevao showed flashes (1).
Ornstein: Hall to United, Santos involved
David Ornstein dropped an update on Wednesday afternoon: Lewis Hall to Manchester United is moving, with Andre Santos, bought from Chelsea, part of the equation (9). One to watch as the window heats up.
Fan-reaktioner
The mood is mixed. The Zhegrova goal thread is full of frustration at another blank in front of goal, but the Mudryk return has cut through some of the gloom. Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill sat out with minor issues, and most fans seem relaxed about that, pre-season caution, nothing more.
