Confirmed Officials: Fluminense vs Chelsea - 2025 Club World Cup Semi-Finals | OneFootball

The officials have been confirmed for the Club World Cup semi-final tie between Fluminense and Chelsea at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey.

Should Chelsea progress, Enzo Maresca's side will face either PSG or Real Madrid in Sunday's showpiece final.

The time has come for Chelsea to deliver and everyone connected with the club knows what is on the line and required on Tuesday against the Brazilian side, which will see the Blues face former defender Thiago Silva.

"We are going in with the mindset of winning, because we’re Chelsea and we want to win, and we have to show that we want to continue on here," said midfielder Moises Caicedo, who returns following suspension, ahead of the game.

Chelsea will be without Levi Colwill (suspension), Romeo Lavia (fitness) and Liam Delap (suspension) for Tuesday's affair. Maresca is confident they can find solutions in order to claim victory to put them on the brink of becoming Champions of the World.

"Already in the last game we had Romeo out, Moises out, Reece out and we found a solution with Andrey," insisted Maresca. "Now with Levi and Liam out, we're going to find a different solution. Joao is ready, also Nico. For sure we're going to find a solution."
