The players undertook some gym work and had a team meeting before heading out onto the grass in glorious sunshine.

Among the five fresh faces involved who missed Monday’s session was Jadon Sancho, who made such a difference at the Vitality Stadium.

Marc Cucurella was also back out there having continued where he left off after a memorable summer with Spain.

Nicolas Jackson was in the thick of things and he will be looking to add to the brace he got against West Ham at Stamford Bridge back in May.

Levi Colwill and Moises Caicedo, also both starters at Bournemouth, were the other returnees.

There was further good news as Malo Gusto and Romeo Lavia continued their rehabilitation with another modified session as they continue their recovery from injury.
