A sunny Cobham was the venue for the final training session this morning before the team take on Maribor tomorrow evening.
The outfield players were put through a series of stretches and warm-up drills while elsewhere the goalkeepers worked separately under the guidance of Christophe Lollichon, the goalkeeping coach.
On arrival in Slovenia, Jose Mourinho and one player will be speaking at the customary pre-match media conference, which you’ll be able to follow on Twitter from 6pm UK time.
Then tomorrow we face the Slovenian champions at their Ljudski vrt home, kick-off 7.45pm UK time.
