Chelsea training was cancelled by manager Andre Villas-Boas yesterday.
Villas-Boas originally scheduled training for his players at 11am on Wednesday, but he cancelled the session in what some players interpreted as an attempt to take the sting out of a volatile situation by allowing 24 hours for contemplation, says the Daily Mail.
Instead, the players were given a day off after flying back from Naples through the night.
The manager travelled north to watch Manchester City, who play Chelsea next month.
