Chelsea players have let slip some surprise revelations about their team-mates as Enzo Maresca's side head out to the United States for a pre-season tour.

Maresca named a 28-man travelling squad for the tour but also raised a few eyebrows by leaving Trevoh Chalobah at home. The 25-year-old defender is now thought to be considering his future at the club and could look to move away before the start of the new campaign.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
The mood in the Chelsea camp appeared to be good as the players revealed a few details about the squad in a video on Instagram. Armando Broja was outed as the player with the worst banter, while Ben Chilwell won the dubious award for taking the longest to get ready.

New Chelsea signing Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga and Marc Guiu have all been included in the tour squad and will be hoping to impress Maresca. The Blues will take on Wrexham first in California, with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's side having already held Premier League side Bournemouth to a draw in pre-season.
