International Blues, squad audits and a trip to Bournemouth

Chelsea's title charge starts now...The Athletic's Blues experts Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson join Matt Davies-Adams to wrap up the international break and look ahead to a trip to the seaside as they prepare to face tricky foes Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.We begin with a runthrough of the fortunes of some of Mauricio Pochettino's men on duty with their countries - including more struggles for Mykhailo Mudryk and pondering why Levi Colwill didn't get a shot for England while a certain out of favour defender did...Next, we take a closer look at the squad audit Liam did for The Athletic -with a look at the strengths and weaknesses of this incredibly young crop of players which has been assembled.Then it's all eyes on that game against the Cherries - a word on the latest with the ongoing search for a shirt sponsor, a special 'Elsewhere in Chelsea news' after the legends put on a show at Stamford Bridge - before we wrap things up with a quiz...We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the trip to the seaside and hopefully an important three points for the Blues!Produced by Lucy Oliva.***• This is a paid advertisement by BetterHelp.
