Defender John Terry met up with his former team-mate Ashley Cole

Two Chelsea legends reunited in California on Wednesday as John Terry and Ashley Cole relived their glory days at the heart of the Stamford Bridge defence.

Centre-half Terry is currently on pre-season tour with the Blues in America and with Cole now a LA Galaxy player, the former England defenders took time out from training for a catch-up.

Terry posted a picture of him with Cole and Bayern Munich and Germany defender Jerome Boating to Instagram with the caption: 'Great to see @theofficialac3 and @jeromeboateng today. The best left back ever and in my opinion one of the best CB about at the minute.'

Terry and Cole spent eight years together at Chelsea, winning the Premier League in the 2009-10 campaign. While Terry is a one club man, Cole moved on from the capital club in 2014, joining Italian side Roma before his spell with Galaxy in the MLS.

Commenting on the picture of him, Terry and Boating, Cole added: 'With 2 of the best CB @jeromeboateng @johnterry.26 and nice to catch up with my old team mates.'

The left-back also posed for a picture with Cesar Azpilicueta as the Chelsea players enjoyed some time away from the training field.

Chelsea are out in America as Antonio Conte's side begin their preparations for the new Premier League season and after being offered a new contract, Terry is set to be a key man for his new Italian boss.

Chelsea face Liverpool, Real Madrid and AC Milan during their pre-season tour of America, the games taking place in Pasadena, Michigan and Minneapolis respectively.

After a poor Premier League campaign last term, Conte faces a huge challenge in getting his new team back to the top of the English football tree.

The man who led Italy at Euro 2016 has already added striker Michy Batshuayi and midfielder N'Golo Kante to his squad for the season ahead.
