Coupe de la LigueRecorded meetings: 5 (available previous meetings, not necessarily all-time).
Brighton scored all of their goals from set pieces as they fought back from 2-0 down to clinch a 4-3 win against Strasbourg to wrap up their week-long training camp in Austria. The Ligue 1 side went two goals up inside the first 14 minutes thanks to Martial Godo and Samuel Amo-Ameyaw, before the Seagulls hit back with two goals in six minutes. Pascal Gross needed a second bite at the cherry to convert his penalty, before assisting team-mate Olivier Boscagli from a free-kick for an important equaliser.
Chelsea are also expected to announce the £52m signing of France international defender Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace. Chelsea have also brought in £1117m Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa - and Alonso has said he "has a plan" to play the attacking midfielder with Cole Palmer - winger Geovany Quenda from Sporting, striker Emmanuel Emegha from Strasbourg and full-back Marco Palestra from Atalanta.
It's not just about keeping players happy - Chelsea must also sell players to keep the books balanced. The £117m fee represents a substantial outlay on top of the £47m spent to sign full-back Marco Palestra from Atalanta, as well as the potential arrivals of defenders Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano and Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace. In addition, midfielder Valentin Barco is expected to join from Strasbourg, though Chelsea have yet to confirm the deal.
Chelsea goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina is training with Strasbourg as he attempts to secure a move to the French club. The 22-year-old United States international, who has one senior cap, was Chelsea's third-choice goalkeeper last season and has been given the opportunity to work with the Ligue 1 side, which is also owned by BlueCo. Any move would ultimately need to be approved by new Strasbourg manager Hugo Oliveira, and no final decision has been made.
