Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and his players were in great spirits as they returned to preseason training on Friday.

The Daily Express reports Tammy Abraham, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tino Anjorin were the first three Chelsea players to report back for training at Cobham on Friday.

Their reunion with manager Tuchel was caught on camera and has since emerged on social media.

Tuchel shouts at his players as they stride over: "Three players and 24 coaches!"

The comments were in reference to the light session they had just completed with the Chelsea coaches.

Youngster Anjorin says to Tuchel after a hug: "It was fine!"

Tuchel then repeats the remark about three players and 24 coaches to Abraham.

The forward then joked following some additional conversation that cannot be heard: "I had a good time off. It wasn't long enough though!"

Hudson-Odoi is the last over and tells Tuchel where he spent some of his spare time this summer.

"I was at Ghana," he says. Tuchel then adds: "Do I want to know or better I don't know?"

The winger then replied: "It's good that you know!"
