Chelsea begin their Club World Cup campaign against Los Angeles FC in Atlanta tonight. It’s less than three weeks since the Blues clinched their first trophy under Enzo Maresca in the Conference League final and they are already gearing up for another shot at major silverware across the Atlantic after a busy start to the summer transfer market.
New signings Liam Delap, Mamadou Sarr and Dario Essugo are all on the bench this evening, along with returning loanee Andrey Santos as Maresca makes five changes from Wroclaw and keeps faith with Nicolas Jackson in attack. Chelsea will be coming up against a familiar face in the Group D curtain-raiser at a hot and humid Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the form of Olivier Giroud, who is a substitute for LAFC as ex-Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris starts in goal as expected.
The Major League Soccer (MLS) outfit were late additions to the Club World Cup, having beaten Club America in a tense one-off qualifying play-off tie last month after Mexican side Club Leon were removed from the competition after failing to meet FIFA’s requirements on multi-club ownership.
