CHELSEA will travel to Austria for two warm-up games for pre-season, before Antonio Conte checks out the talent at his disposal at a tournament in the US.
On July 16 The Blues face Rapid Vienna in the Austrian capital before heading on to Klagenfurt on July 20 to take on WAC RZ Pellets.
By then Conte, who has joined up with Chelsea following Italy's exit from Euro 2016, may have a fair idea of the improvements needed, but players will have another chance to prove their worth in the International Champions Cup in the US.
This will obviously include their new £33m signing from Marseille Michy Batshuayi.
Chelsea open up against Liverpool on July 27, and then face Real Madrid on July 30 and then AC Milan on August 3.
July 16 v Rapid Vienna (Allianz Stadion, Vienna)
July 20 v WAC RZ Pellets (Worthersee Stadion, Klagenfurt)
International Champions Cup
July 27 v Liverpool (Rose Bowl, Pasadena)
