Former Aston Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel paid a visit to Chelsea's Cobham training ground this week and posed for pictures with captain John Terry and other members of the squad.
The Colombian played for six and a half seasons in the Premier League after moving to Villa Park from Argentine side River Plate in January 2001.
The former international, who played 33 times for the national side between 1995 and 2005, shared the snap alongside Chelsea stalwart Terry on his official Instagram account on Tuesday.

The Picture stirred memories for Angel of playing against the former England international during his spell in England.
'Had a few battles with Chelsea captain John Terry back in the day!' the 39-year-old wrote on the social media site along with the photo.
Terry, 34, had already broken into the Chelsea first team when Angel arrived in England halfway through the 2000-01 season following his £9.5million switch to the Midlands.
Angel can look back fondly on a League Cup match against the Blues in which he outfoxed Terry before smashing the ball from range as Villa advanced to the semi-finals in 2003.
Angel also shared pictures with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, defender Gary Cahill, who he played alongside for Aston Villa, and fellow South American Oscar.
'Gary Cahill it was great to see you mate,' Angel captioned the picture with Cahill, who were together at Villa for three years before the striker left to join New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer.
Angel is something of a cult hero at Aston Villa despite only managing to reach double figures for Premier League goals in two of the six full seasons he was at the club.
Angel, who went on to play for LA Galaxy, Chivas USA and Atletico Nacional in his native Colombia before retiring in December 2014, scored 62 goals in all competitions for Villa.
