FIFA confirmed, this Monday, the 23 players registered by Chelsea who will compete in the Club World Cup. In the list of the English team, the Brazilians Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Kenedy are present.
The last one, a former Flamengo striker, will have a new challenge in the team. Coach Thomas Tuchel told a press conference that he intends to use him as a left-back. Kenedy was in the Libertadores dispute, against Palmeiras, and can face his tormentor again.
It is worth mentioning that the Blues commander will not be on the sidelines on Wednesday, when the team debuts in the championship against Al-Hilal, at 13:30 (GMT). The coach tested positive for covid-19 on Saturday and is in isolation. If you have a negative result after the recovery period, you will travel to Abu Dhabi later.
On the other side of the bracket, Palmeiras duels with Al Ahly the day before, on Tuesday, at the same time.
Check out the list of Chelsea’s 23 entries for the World Cup:
goalkeepers: Arrizabalaga, Bettinelli and Mendy
Defenders: Rudiger, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Chalobah, Marcos Alonso, Azpilicueta and Kenedy
Midfielders: Jorginho, Kante, Pulisic, Kovacic, Saúl, Barkley, Mason Mount and Havertz
