Nigeria and Chelsea star Victor Moses alongside his Chelsea team-mates were treated to a different atmosphere at the team's pre-Christmas training session.
The pre-Christmas training sessions at Chelsea had an added festive element on Friday with the Blues Academy's Under-8s team invited by coach Antonio Conte to watch and meet the senior players, as can be seen in the photos below courtesy of the club's official website.
The feast of football enjoyed by English supporters over the festive period is a long-held tradition in this country, but for many years now some have pointed to the games played over Christmas and New Year as a potential cause of the national team’s shortcomings.
Christmas itself will have an unfamiliar feel for Conte and his family this year, but nonetheless he is just delighted to be able to spend it with them.
"My wife and my daughter have arrived to prepare to celebrate Christmas in my house with my brothers and my parents. This is very good.
"This is the first experience for me and in my family to work and play football. I think it can be and I hope it will be a fantastic experience.
"It’s very strange for us because in this period we are used to being on holiday. Sometimes we went to Lecce, sometimes we stayed in Torino. Once we went to Dubai.
"You have to celebrate Christmas with the family, that’s the most important. It’s not important where you stay but it’s important to stay together."
