New Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed a squad clearout has been the priority.
Pochettino was introduced as new manager on Thursday after several weeks of major player departures.
Pochettino said: "I'm not thinking about how many challenges or the most difficult one. The most important thing is to get a balanced squad.
"The plan was to reduce the numbers of players and then create a good dynamic on the training ground. I am not giving players the opportunity to waste time. We need to give our best from the start.
"We are going to have a squad that can deliver."
