Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino's threat to cancel their planned day off did not go according to plan.
The Argentine had been hoping to give his players a day off after a long week of training and the return of the Premier League.
However, a 4-1 loss to Newcastle United on Saturday prompted Pochettino to question that decision.
We were talking in the dressing room after the game, we should go directly to the hotel and sleep, and start to train early in the morning and not have a day off," said Pochettino.
We shouldn't just blame the players, we need to blame altogether and this is the process of learning and understanding that we want to compete at the level people think we should compete at. We have a very talented squad but to compete is different to playing."
However, The Mail states the day off went as initially planned, with players going on trips and training resuming on Monday.
