Christian Atsu and Baba Rahman are hoping to have good pre-season under new coach Antono Conte at Chelsea.

The two Black Stars players were part of the Chelsea contingent that arrived in Australia on Friday night as they embark on a week-long training camp and prepare to play the first friendlies of their pre-season campaign.

Christian Atsu, who has been struggling to break into the Chelsea setup, after joining the team in 2013, has returned from a loan move from Malaga, while Baba Rahman has also not found his feet yet ever since he joined the Lonon side from Aasburg in the Bundesliga last season.

The group touched down in Vienna, the capital, before moving on to their hotel.

Conte takes charge of his first match since being appointed on Saturday when Chelsea take on Rapid Vienna at the Allianz Stadion, kick-off 5pm UK time.

On Sunday the squad will then head off to Velden, where they will be based for the remainder of the trip.

Chelsea’s second friendly takes place on Wednesday when we face Austrian side RZ Pellets, kick-off 7pm UK time.
