The Chelsea players seem to be enjoying their time at their pre-season training camp in Dublin.
Under the watchful eye of new manager Frank Lampard, the Blues have been doing double sessions over the past week as they build up their fitness ahead of the new campaign.
Michy Batshuayi and Kurt Zouma both had spells away from the club on loan last season, but they appear to be settling back in nicely. The club shared a video of the pair playing two-touch keepie-uppie yesterday:

While Zouma will be looking to force his way into the starting line up under Lampard following a successful year with Everton, Batshuayi will have a battle on his hands to get game time next season.
The Belgian international will be vying with Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham to be first-choice striker, and he will be hoping to convince Lampard that he has what it takes to make it at Stamford Bridge.
