Chelsea Expected to Make Key Changes Ahead of Fluminense Clash
Chelsea are preparing to make several adjustments to their starting lineup ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup semi-final against Fluminense.
Midfielder Moises Caicedo and forward João Pedro are likely to return to the XI, bringing added control and attacking threat. Their presence could prove vital as the Blues go up against a Fluminense side known for its technical discipline and quick, possession-based style.
Meanwhile, Liam Delap and Levi Colwill are expected to miss out. Whether due to suspension or tactical reshuffling, head coach Enzo Maresca seems to be leaning toward a more experienced lineup as he looks to navigate one of Chelsea’s biggest tests of the tournament.
With the match set for the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, all eyes will be on how Chelsea rise to the occasion. It’s a high-pressure clash, and for Maresca, a prime opportunity to show his system can deliver results on the world stage.
