With a Premier League tie against Stoke City in the offing, Chelsea clambered aboard their private jet and made the short hop en masse from London to the Potteries.
Despite the journey taking less than an hour, it all proved too tiring for Tiemoue Bakayoko who managed to fall soundly asleep in his seat.
Of course, this prompted several of his more mischievous teammates to start fooling with him, with Thibaut Courtois enjoying a stealthy game of "balance things on the midfielder."
With a little help from his off-camera accomplice, Courtious managed to balance a fair number of complimentary snacks on Bakayoko's head and shoulders while Michy Batshuayi filmed the whole thing with glee.
Whether the Blues' impromptu game of Human Buckaroo has any effect on their performance against Stoke remains to be seen.
