Tammy Abraham has urged Chelsea fans to be patient with their new-look team.

Abraham believes Chelsea's young squad must be given time to develop relationships with the summer signings, particularly given how the congested fixture calendar has limited day-to-day work on the training pitches.

"We have hardly had any time to train together and to work out how each other play so we're just taking every day as it comes at the moment," the 23-year-old Abraham told chelseafc.com.

"Every game we play, we're learning new things about each other.

"I'm starting to understand them more and they're starting to understand me more so hopefully we drive each other and be the best we can be."
