Gaga Slonina - Joins Chelsea's preseason tour Slonina posted on Instagram that he is in Hong Kong with the Chelsea squad for preseason and will likely not join Strasbourg, as his trial there did not work out.

Impact Slonina's trial at Strasbourg came after being tested by new coach Hugo Oliveira over several weeks, but the failed trial now leaves him back with Chelsea's traveling squad on preseason tour. He is likely at best to serve as the club's third choice goalkeeper this season, and a fresh loan move to another club remains a realistic path forward as he looks to find regular playing time.

Valentin Barco - Joins Chelsea Barco has completed a transfer to Chelsea from Strasbourg, according to his former club.

Impact Barco is out from France as he makes his return to the Premier League after some time with Brighton a few seasons before, now joining Strasbourg's sister club, Chelsea. He played the past two seasons with the French club, notching two goals and six assists as he served on the left flank between defense and the midfield, notching 41 Ligue 1 appearances ( 38 starts). He will now join as an immediate step in for Marc Cucurella after his exit from the club this summer, giving the club another option at left-back or in the defensive midfield. Jorrel Hato looks to be their starter at left-back at the moment, although that should change after the addition of Barco, just adding to the young and deep defense the Blues have.

Robert Sanchez - Missing with minor injury Sanchez (undisclosed) is missing from Chelsea's squad for Saturday's friendly against Tottenham due to a minor injury, according to Bobby Vincent of Football London.

Impact Sanchez started the majority of last season ahead of Filip Jorgensen, finishing with nine clean sheets across 35 Premier League appearances while averaging 2.8 saves per match, even as the club's overall defensive record remained inconsistent. His absence in Saturday's friendly against the Spurs appears to be precautionary given the minor nature of the issue, and his status for Chelsea's next preseason fixture against Juventus on Wednesday should become clearer in the coming days.
