22 Days Later

After 22 days without a game, Chelsea are finally back, and Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge feels like a must-win for Xabi Alonso.

Moisés Caicedo is training again, João Pedro's knee is the worry nobody is talking about, and Joe isn't convinced Bournemouth are the soft touch their league position suggests.

Before that, Pedro retires, Lawrence Stewart leaves as sporting director, and Romeo Lavia and Morgan Rogers come back from international duty in form.
