CHELSEA are off to Nice for their next pre-season fixture - and Blues midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is making sure his team-mates do not starve.

The 23-year-old French international  was spotted taking a dish covered with foil onto the coach as they prepared to head to the airport.

Bakayoko took to Instagram to confirm that he has brought the food to fill his Blues colleagues on their journey to his homeland.

Chelsea are set to play Inter Milan in Nice on Saturday, with a number of stars still absent following their World Cup duties.

Bakayoko will be looking for some more game-time after coming on for new arrival Jorginho in their first pre-season friendly against Perth.

Competition will be tough for the Frenchman, having struggled in his first season at Stamford Bridge.

But Bakayoko faced heavy criticism and now faces difficult task of securing a regular starting spot.

New signing Jorginho is expected to start alongside N'Golo Kante for the majority of the season, with Cesc Fabregas, Danny Drinkwater and Ross Barkley also fighting for a central midfield place.

And Bakayoko may have found another use for his team-mates, should he spend much of his time on the bench.
