Chelsea’s underachieving squad enjoyed a team-bonding evening out on Wednesday night - with full permission from Jose Mourinho.

Diego Costa and Ramires were among the Blues allowed to paint the town red and were spotted leaving a London nightclub in the early hours of Thursday morning with recent addition Kenedy.

They were joined by the entire first team squad ahead of Saturday’s Premier League home game against Bournemouth.

The Blues first went out to a restaurant for dinner, then onto a couple of clubs with some of them leaving trendy venue Libertine at 3.15am.

Chief: Blues boss Jose Mourinho gave his stars permission

Every player reported on time for training or treatment at the champions’ Cobham HQ on Thursday morning.

The squad were given the green light for their midweek night off as Mourinho and the club feel there are very few opportunities for them to go out as a group between now and Christmas as fixtures start getting tighter.
