KIERAN GILL: Sitting in the Stamford Bridge directors' lounge‚ just Xabi Alonso and a few of the Chelsea-dedicated correspondents‚ the talk turned to setting standards after such a substandard season. 'I can't assess the things from the past because I was not here so it would be unfair‚' Alonso told us. 'But what we want is a team with the right mentality‚ the right hunger‚ the right standards and on a daily basis to build on them. That's important. 'I'm not a general‚ but I'm a good professional‚ and I know what it takes to be a good professional. Those are the standards we want for the whole building.'

Chelsea are ready to sell Alejandro Garnacho after a single season with the 22-year-old Argentinian not seen since the club's other players returned for pre-training season. Cole Palmer‚ Joao Pedro and the other non-World Cup call-ups reported back at Cobham on Thursday morning to run through their fitness tests and begin working with new manager Xabi Alonso on the pitch. Garnacho is not believed to have been involved in those first sessions held with Alonso. Chelsea did not comment when asked why‚ such as if injury-related or otherwise.
