Chelsea reported the disappearance of equipment of an estimated value of 30,000 pounds sterling in its Cobham training center, pushing the club to alert the Surrey police according to The Sun. The material concerned would include high -tech video devices used for performance analysis. If the hypothesis of a simple forgetfulness is not excluded, some employees being still on leave, the incident has been considered sufficiently worrying to justify an investigation. The club did not wish to comment on the case more.
This is not the first time that Chelsea has faced security incidents. In recent years, several players have been victims of burglaries in their residences located near the training center. Raheem Sterling had seen his house targeted in December 2022, when he was playing the World Cup, and Reece James was also stolen precious medals in 2021. These previous ones reinforce the concerns around the security of the club in the region. Case to follow.
