Hello and welcome to straight out of Cobham, the Chelsea FC podcast from The Athletic.

Now, this is the part of the show where I'd usually tell you all about how we break down the latest news, reviews and previews as regards to the blues.

But as you're no doubt to where football in the UK has been postponed until at least the first weekend of April

in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Instead, in this edition of the show, we'll be looking

at the impact of the suspension of the game on Chelsea, how the club have responded so

far and what the possible implications are for Chelsea in the coming weeks and

months. We'll also talk injuries and meet another cult hero. This is straight out to Cobham.

Yes, hello again, listener. It's me, Matt Davis Adams, coming to you live from my box room in Sunny Peckham.

For obvious reasons, we aren't in the studio today, but we are still going to have a virtual chat about Chelsea.

Joining me on the line from their own salubrious surrounds are the Athletics Chelsea experts.

Hello, Liam to me.

Hello.

Good day, Simon Johnson.

Good day.
