CHE 3-0 BRO: Chelsea win behind-closed-doors

According to a report by The Sun on Thursday, July 23, 2026, Chelsea continued their impressive start to pre-season under Xabi Alonso after securing a 3-0 victory over League Two side Bromley in a behind-closed-doors friendly.

The Blues fielded a young team for the match, with several academy players given the opportunity to impress as a number of senior stars remain away on holiday following the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

New signing Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Emmanuel Emegha scored the goals as Chelsea recorded their second pre-season victory under Alonso.
