Chelsea’s preparations for the season restart continued on Wednesday with a behind-closed-doors friendly against Reading at Cobham. Pedro scored the winner for Blues in the first half.
The Blues met the Championship side at our training ground to help build up match fitness, with the top-flight’s resumption just a week-and-a-half away now. It follows on from the in-house match contested at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Today Chelsea won 1-0 courtesy of a first-half goal from Pedro. N'Golo Kante, who returned to contact training yesterday, was among those involved, as were Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Billy Gilmour.
In the Reading ranks, current Chelsea loanee Matt Miazga featured, while there was a Cobham return for former Blue, John Swift.
