It has been an exhilarating season for Chelsea and the man leading the charge – apart from manager Frank Lampard – is Tammy Abraham.

Abraham has emerged as Chelsea's main man following a superb season that has taken the Blues close to Champions League last 16.

Abraham is a product of Chelsea's youth academy – which the team has relied upon heavily – and has 11 league goals this season, 12 in all competitions.

With Chelsea unable to sign players due to a transfer ban, Abraham got catapulted into the first team and he hasn't looked back since.

Chelsea and Lampard will be relying heavily on Abraham's shoulders as they prepare for a crucial Champions League match against Lille at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday. Chelsea need to win to ensure qualification to the knockout stages from Group H.

They trained for the match on Monday. Above is a picture gallery of the training session. To move on to the next image, click on the arrows, or if using a mobile device, simply swipe.
