Eden Hazard&Thibaut Courtois trained with Jose Mourinho’s squad for the 1st time today (Thursday). The Belgian duo joined up with the group yesterday following their post-World Cup break,&were involved in both of today’s sessions,which took place at the Vitesse Arnhem training complex. With Fernando Torres now confirmed to be playing his 5th campaign in a Chelsea shirt by Jose Mourinho,the £50M man is battling to finally prove his worth. Chelseas #9 was in competition with Diego Costa as Jose Mourinhos squad enjoyed a light-hearted game of head tennis in training following their 2-1 win over Vitesse on Wednesday night. New # 19 Costa is expected to be 1st choice to lead the line at Stamford Bridge this season with Torres not carrying the #1 striker tag for the 1st time in his Chelsea career. And Blues supporters will hope that can give their big money flop a boost,with Chelsea likely to need at least 2 forwards firing for a title charge. For now,he has Jose Mourinho to impress - &although it seemed Costa was coming out on top Torres looked comfortable as he&the rest of the squad warm up for the new season. Eden Hazard was also on show - but with the ball at his feet - as the Belgian playmaker enjoyed his 1st day back in full training. And Didier Drogba also enjoyed a kick around as he looks to prove his fitness for the Blues next pre season fixture vs Werder Bremen on Sunday. At the end of the session doping control testers were onsite to make sure everything was as it should in typical tests happening for all football clubs in their preparations for the new campaign.
