Cesar Azpilicueta may have already won it all in blue, but when he plays his next game for Chelsea our captain will break yet more new ground...
[Cesar Azpilicueta](/en/teams/profile/cesar-azpilicueta) will become our leading overseas appearance maker, a remarkable achievement considering Chelsea are a club with a long and proud history of foreign players. Now only Ron Harris (795 games), Peter Bonetti (729), John Terry (717), Frank Lampard (648) and John Hollins (592) have made more appearances for the club in our history. With his sub appearance against Bournemouth on Tuesday, Azpilicueta moved level with Petr Cech in our all-time appearance list.
As we reach the halfway point in the season, Chelsea development squad head coach Mark Robinson reflects on what has been a good start for him and the team, ...
'Whether it's with the first team or on loan, a continued desire and ethos to improve will only help in their development.' โAs a development squad, we work on a match-by-match basis where the culture is about coming into work determined to be the best version of yourself. 'Our medical team and all the other departments have been instrumental with our shared growth mindset. โWith support at the top from Neil Bath, it is clear why there has been so much positivity in and around the training ground. Robinson succeeded Andy Myers in the summer, while our development squad have been in great form this season as back-to-back losses in August were met with an impressive 11-game unbeaten run. โIt is not just the coaching staff that have been supportive,' he continued.
