A 25-man Chelsea squad has departed today for a four-game tour in the
USA – and included all six senior players who had been excused the Asia
tour.
David Luiz and Oscar (Brazil), Juan Mata, Cesar Azpilicueta
and Fernando Torres (Spain) and John Obi Mikel (Nigeria) had been given
extended holidays after their international commitments this summer. Good holiday? David Luiz of Brazil with the FIFA Confederations Cup trophy
