Chelsea continue their pre-season tour with a trip to Indonesia, where they are set to take on AC Milan on Saturday at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
The Blues have not enjoyed the most convincing run of results under new head coach Xabi Alonso so far. Their preparations began on a positive note with a win over Western Sydney Wanderers, but momentum has since dipped. Chelsea have gone on to lose their last two matches, first suffering a narrow defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, then a 1-0 loss to Juventus in Hong Kong.
Alonso is currently dealing with several selection concerns ahead of the clash in Jakarta, largely due to a stretched squad in the aftermath of the World Cup.
Several key first-team players are still unavailable as they continue to regain full fitness. Those missing include Enzo Fernández, Reece James, Malo Gusto, Jordan Henderson, Maxence Lacroix, Morgan Rogers, and Valentín Barco.
There is some encouraging news, however, as Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill are both expected to return after missing the Juventus game with minor injuries.
