Sterling, Koulibaly and Chelsea stars get to work after troubling pre-season - in pictures

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has been voicing his concern about the form of his team just a few days before the 2022/23 season kicks off.

Tuchel says he cannot recall a pre-season from his career with such an alarming sequence of defeats as this summer, as the Blues struggled on their tours of Singapore and the USA.

Most troubling for Tuchel was the 4-0 defeat by London rivals Arsenal in Florida. “I don’t know if I ever lost a match in pre-season 4-0. I can’t remember not winning two matches in a row," said the German.

Chelsea stars, including new signings Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, are now back in training at their UK base in Cobham as Tuchel tries to put right their problems ahead of their Premier League kick-off at Everton on August 6.

The Blues have one more pre-season fixture, against Italian Serie A side Udinese, for Tuchel to make changes.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal 
  • Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
How to avoid crypto fraud
  • Use unique usernames and passwords while enabling multi-factor authentication.
  • Use an offline private key, a physical device that requires manual activation, whenever you access your wallet.
  • Avoid suspicious social media ads promoting fraudulent schemes.
  • Only invest in crypto projects that you fully understand.
  • Critically assess whether a project’s promises or returns seem too good to be true.
  • Only use reputable platforms that have a track record of strong regulatory compliance.
  • Store funds in hardware wallets as opposed to online exchanges.
