Maurizio Sarri and his squad have arrived Perth Glory as the Blues start pre-season proper in Australia.

The famous WACA Ground is the venue where the Blues will be training on this pre-season trip, and the stadium which is best known for hosting cricket matches has welcomed the Chelsea players.

The famous old scoreboard on the ground has been given a makeover and now bears the names of the travelling party from London.

Having arrived Perth in the early hours of Friday morning, the Chelsea players will retire for lunch after this session, and before training this afternoon there will be a press conference where Sarri and two of his players will speak.

Chelsea will take on Perth Glory on Monday night at the Optus Stadium in the club’s first pre-season game of the summer.
