Temporary Chelsea coach runs the rule over Chukwuemeka ahead of Fulham clash

Chelsea have started preparations for their Premier League match against Fulham, a day after they were beaten 1-0 by Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League.

On Wednesday morning, The Blues relieved German football tactician Thomas Tuchel of his duties as head coach after a disappointing start to their Champions League campaign.

With three wins, one draw and two defeats to Leeds United and Southampton, Chelsea occupy sixth position in the Premier League, five points behind table toppers Arsenal.

Super Eagles-eligible midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka was among the Chelsea players that reported back to Cobham on Wednesday afternoon.

The England youth international of Nigerian descent traveled back from the Croatian capital on Tuesday night following the defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

According to Chelsea's official website, Chukwuemeka participated in the today's training session under the guidance of Anthony Barry and other coaching staff.

Barry will take temporary charge of Chelsea's first team following the dismissal of Tuchel.

Chelsea's Loan Player Technical Coach Andy Myers also ran the rule over Chukwuemeka and his teammates during Wednesday's workout.
