Chelsea have begin their preparations ahead of the 2020-21 season. It's understood that the league will kick off this September 12.
Although, Chelsea begin their campaign on Monday, 14th with a clash against Brighton Hove Albion.
The Blues have active in the transfer market with the deals of Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, Timo Werner from RB Leipzig.
Also, Ben Chelsea joined the Stamford Bridge outfit for 50m pounds while Thiago Silva joined as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain.
Frank Lampard have revealed that some of the new signings might not feature against Brighton.
"Ziyech took an injury to his knee in the friendly against Brighton and he won't be fit," Lampard said in Thursday's pre-match news conference. "We are working on him and hope it will only be a matter of weeks, a couple of weeks, we hope, but we'll have to wait and see on that."
Lampard also stated that Ben Chilwell isn't match fit for the game. The full back is still recovering from injury since he joined from Leicester City.
Lampard said: "Chilwell is working towards fitness. He won't be fit for Brighton. He has developed and improved this week and going in the right direction, which is good news for us. Thiago Silva is in London but won't be training until the weekend, so I doubt very much that he's in contention for the Brighton game.
"Out of the new ones, that's where we are at. Billy Gilmour is a longer-term injury, but other than that we are in decent shape."
