Chelsea stars undergo tough conditioning training in Austria as manager Antonio Conte steps up the training intensity

Antonio Conte's Chelsea revolution is continuing in Austria, where his players have been undergoing strength training following their 3-0 win over RZ Pellets.

Wednesday's commanding victory, courtesy of goals by Bertrand Traore, Reuben Loftus-Cheek and Nathaniel Chalobah, gave Conte the first win of his reign but the Italian was not allowing his players too much of a rest the following day.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Pedro, Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill were seen being pt through their paces in a number of conditioning exercises with the new Premier League season less than a month away.

The foursome were not part of the Chelsea team which defeated Pellets after their exploits at Euro 2016 with Spain and England respectively.

Other players, such as Diego Costa and Juan Cuadrado, made the time to sign autographs for fans and pose for pictures, while Fabregas and Pedro were also seen playing basketball.

Their next friendly encounter is against Liverpool on July 28 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, as part of both side's tour of the United States.

Two days later, Conte's side will take on Real Madrid at the Michigan Stadium before closing their tour with an encounter against AC Milan at the US Bank Stadium on August 4.

But before Chelsea open their Premier League campaign at home to West Ham on August 15, they will play Werder Bremen on August 7.

Away from the training pitch, Conte has been busy trying to add to his playing staff, with Juventus striker Alvaro Morata high up on his list of targets.

Chelsea have had two bids for the Spaniard, worth £50m and £62.7m, rejected but are expected to return with a third offer.
They have also been linked with a move for former striker Romelu Lukaku, now at Everton.
