Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea's forgotten players back in training as Premier League clubs gear up for new season
EURO 2020 is over, the Copa America is complete and all eyes now turn to the start of the 2021-22 Premier League campaign.
And that means fans are getting their first glimpses of their team's pre-season festivities.
Top-flight clubs have been swarming supporters' social media feeds with behind-the-scenes snaps from training.
Scattered among the superstars, some forgotten faces have been spotted getting down to work, from Sead Kolasinac at Arsenal to Liverpool's Loris Karius.
We've taken a look at SEVEN players you might be forgiven for forgetting were still in the Premier League as pre-season rumbles on.
CHELSEA – Danny Drinkwater & Ross Barkley
LET'S be honest, you could make an entire XI of 'forgotten' Chelsea players… probably even two or three.
But Danny Drinkwater is arguably the most-notable having not played for the Blues in a staggering 1,075 – just 20 days shy of THREE YEARS.
Ross Barkley is another to return to training after nearly a year in the wilderness, following his loan spell at Aston Villa.
But with the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Kenedy, Baba Rahman, Ethan Ampadu, Tiemoue Bakyoko and Michy Batshuayi among the long-term Chelsea absentees, the list goes on and on.
