Chelsea coach Xabi Alonso provided an update on the team ahead of the new Premier League season's opening round, stating that there are no new injury concerns.

The Blues will visit Fulham on Monday night at Craven Cottage, with kick-off at 3 AM Beijing time (CEST) on August 25th.

Speaking to the media at Cobham on Thursday, Xabi Alonso said that Welbeck should be available, and players who returned late due to the World Cup are also ready to play.

"Danny (Welbeck) can participate in the game; he just had a minor issue and didn't train much in the last few days," the Spaniard said at the press briefing.

"We expect him to resume training on Saturday. We need to take it day by day, but that's the current plan."

"As for the other players, we'll see. We'll check and assess them, but because of the World Cup, they returned a bit late and need more time."

"But they are all available, and of course, they will all be in the squad against Fulham."
