The Chelsea first-team players who had been abroad during the closure have returned with training due to the restart.
North London Blues rivals Arsenal welcomed the players last week.
And now, people like Kepa Arizzabalaga, Willian, Pedro, Marcos Alonso, Emerson, Christian Pulisic and Andreas Christensen have returned to England.
Chelsea had asked their players to return to the capital by May 3.
Kepa, Pedro, and Alonso had returned to their native Spain, Pulisic returned to America, Christensen went to Denmark, and Emerson was in Italy.
Some clubs are waiting for the government council, which establishes the latest social distancing measures before making decisions about when to return, Sky Sports reports.
