Chelsea midfielder Hakim Ziyech teased teammate Edouard Mendy on their first day back in pre-season training.
Ziyech suggested the goalkeeper had a little too much fun during the summer.
Some players from Thomas Tuchel’s squad have already returned to their Cobham training complex this week, as preparations begin ahead of the new Premier League season.
Mendy last played on June 8 for Senegal in a friendly against Cape Verde, while Ziyech has also had a month off since playing for Morocco against Burkina Faso on 12 June.
However, Mendy may have a few grueling sessions ahead of him, with Ziyech suggesting he wasn’t exactly in great shape after a month off.
The former Ajax midfielder playfully stabbed Mendy in the stomach as they warmed up, making a funny noise while doing so, then pointing out ‘Too much kebab’ to another player .
Mendy took the joke in a good mood and laughed at it.
