Pedro handed Chelsea a 1-0 victory over Reading as the London club continued their preparations for the season restart.

It was a behind-closed-doors friendly against against the Championship club at Cobham, with key players of the Premier League featuring.

N’Golo Kante, who returned to contact training yesterday, was among those involved, as were Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Billy Gilmour, Willian, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, Mateo Kovacic .

Pedro scored in the first half as Frank Lampard’s side got off to a winning start as they stepped up preparations for the return of Premier League football next week.

There is still a doubt over whether or not Pedro will be part of the matchday squad for the Blues with the Spaniard yet to have signed a contract extension.

The winger had a good few matches before football was suspended, and he scored in the friendly to show that he could still have a part to play.
