Open training is first chance to see Chelsea and Wrexham

This is the first open training session announced in the United States. However, the schedule of summer friendlies in the United States is abundant.

Both of these clubs feature heavily in that list of games. Wrexham plays a total of three games, including a friendly against the Manchester United academy. Chelsea, on the other hand, plays five times in the United States this summer, more than any other European club. That includes the Premier League Summer Series and a friendly against Borussia Dortmund.

However, the open training sessions with both Chelsea and Wrexham are the first chance American fans will have to see these teams. Whether that be the star-studded lineup of Chelsea fielding a squad in the United States. Or, it can be the likes of Paul Mullin, Ben Tozer, Elliot Lee or Ollie Palmer for Wrexham. The Welcome to Wrexham documentary made these athletes into stars in the United States.
