Chelsea Players Evacuate Cobham Training Over False Chlorine Alarm

Chelsea's players and staff were evacuated from their Cobham training ground due to fears of a chlorine leak triggered by an alarm in the swimming pool area. Firefighters responded promptly and confirmed the alarm was a false one, allowing everyone to return to the building and continue their preparations. Despite the disruption, the team was able to complete their scheduled training session ahead of their Premier League match against Sunderland. The Cobham facility includes a state-of-the-art 56-foot hydrotherapy pool with an underwater treadmill and cameras to aid player recovery. Chelsea expressed relief that no fault was found, emphasizing the importance of the facility for injury rehabilitation and recovery work. This incident follows previous disruptions at the training ground, including the reported loss of camera equipment earlier in the season.
