Vesper 30,202 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Boost for Chelsea as injured defensive star is surprisingly included in Club World Cup squad https://astamfordbridgetoofar.com/2022/02/reece-james-Chelsea-squad-fifa-club-world-cup-injury-news-mason-mount/ Chelsea duo Reece James and Mason Mount were included in the squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup fixture According to Evening Standard, Chelsea star Reece James is included in the 23-man squad that will travel to Abu Dhabi for the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup. The Blues received a major setback as manager Thomas Tuchel tested positive for Covid-19 in the build-up to the FA Cup fixture against Plymouth Argyle. This means that the German would be absent from the sidelines for his team’s upcoming Club World Cup encounter. James, meanwhile, hasn’t featured in a match for the Blues since December 29 but his inclusion in the squad could be a positive sign. Mason Mount also picked up a knock and had to be substituted in the 96th minute of their match against Plymouth. While there was a lot of uncertainty regarding their availability, their inclusion in the squad could be a welcome boost for the west London club.

milka 3,393 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I didn't know Leonardo Jardim is their coach . Apparently their most dangerous player is Pereira and Marega, who was in Porto last year. All other players have difficult to pronounce names .

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Expect an absolutely unwatchable game, worse than argyle. they are the poorest side we will face all year, maybe on par with chesterfield. They will just try to play thug ball which in this case means their tiny players will try to stab ours with their pointy bones. Just get an early lead and our important players off the pitch. Absolute redundancy to even play this match. Could just show up for the final. There is absolute no value in playing these annoying minnows. Palmeiras will be a whole different animal. that one i think based on current form is a 50-50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,327 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Best lineup at the moment. We take this seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,928 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 At least CHO isn’t starting. Hopefully we can put this to bed in the first half and then coast. You would expect Al Hilal to come out of the blocks quickly to try to catch us cold so we need to be ready for that. Would be annoying to see a repeat of Plymouth where they get a goal first and we batter them without being able to score for an hour. Lukaku 100% needs to score at least 1 here to justify him starting all these games lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It was actually quite depressing watching the Porto final back knowing Rom's presence will likely see to any chance of a repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
