Chelsea are back in action on Saturday when they travel north to face Nottingham Forest.
The Blues beat reigning Premier League champions 2-1 in their last outing prior to the international break, and the Italian will hope to see his side pick up where they left off when they visit The City Ground.
Ahead of the game, it appears that Chelsea are one of a number of Europe’s top clubs interested in an England international.
As reported by Spanish outlet Fichajes via CaughtOffside, the West London outfit are one of several clubs interested in Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.
The report claims that Chelsea, along with Premier League rivals Liverpool, are both in the race to land the England international.

Rogers, 23, joined Villa from Championship side Middlesbrough in 2024 and has since played 80 times for his current club across all competitions.
He has scored 17 goals in that time, as well as registering 19 assists for the Villans.
Rogers’ impressive form earned him his senior England debut in November last year, and the ex-Boro man has now been capped ten times by the Three Lions.
He netted his first senior goal for England earlier this month, scoring in a 3-0 win over Wales at Wembley.
According to the report, French side Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping tabs on the midfielder, who primarily plays as a ‘number ten’ but can also operate on the left flank.
While several clubs are interested in the England international, the report claims that Villa are keen to keep hold of the player and have therefore put a price tag of 80 million on Rogers, who is under contract at Villa Park until the end of the 2029/30 campaign.
