So it remains to be seen if he uses them straightaway for the first game.
But Oscar did play a part in Chelsea’s final pre-season match last night at Stamford Bridge against Real Sociedad, and then after the game took to twitter to reveal how excited he is about this season’s premier league.
The players were given a warm welcome by the home supporters before the game began, and the biggest cheers of the night without a doubt were reserved for the returning club legend Didier Drogba. Chelsea begin their campaign on Monday away against newly promoted Burnley.
