Chelsea players head out for dinner at fancy sushi restaurant as Antonio Conte rewards Premier League leaders for fine form
Antonio Conte and the first-team squad dined at Sumosan Twiga in Sloane Street - and a there was a surprise face in the form of winger Kenedy, back from his Watford loan
ANTONIO CONTE rewarded his Chelsea squad with a plush meal at West End hotspot Sumosan Twiga.
The Blues currently lead the Premier League by eight points after beating Hull City on Sunday afternoon.
And Italian manager Conte joined his squad for a meal in Belgravia.
The pricey restaurant has a renowned Japanese sushi menu, but also serves Italian cuisine.
Chelsea captain John Terry and star men Eden Hazard and Diego Costa were among the guests - who wore some interesting outfits.
Belgian winger Hazard was compared to pop star Michael Jackson after wearing a red bomber jacket and white trilby hat.
Compatriot Michy Batshuayi also raised some eyebrows when he donned a sheepskin coat - and was compared to veteran BBC commentator John Motson.
Brazilian pair David Luiz and Willian both decided to cover up their considerable hair with beanie hats.
Marcos Alonso shared a picture that revealed some of the seating plan.
Notably, the Spanish-speaking players were all grouped at one end of the table, while the younger members of the squad were at the other end.
David Luiz and Willian were surrounded by the younger, fringe members of Conte's team, sitting next to Nathan Ake - who has just returned from a loan spell at Bournemouth - Ola Aina, Nathaniel Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Victor Moses sat next to Kenedy, who returned from a disastrous loan spell at Watford in December, and he was next to fellow Brazilian (but Spanish speaker) Diego Costa.
At the near end of the table was Chelsea's four Spaniards - Cesc Fabregas, Marcos Alonso, Cesar Azpilicueta and Pedro - as well as Thibaut Courtois, who is fluent after spending three years with Atletico Madrid.
Those players were spotted with wine and sushi, although it is not quite clear what they were eating, or what Chalobah and Aina were drinking.
Conte is expected to rotate his side when Chelsea next play, on Saturday in the FA Cup against local rivals Brentford.
