Chelsea have released the whole squad list that will be traveling to the United Arab Emirates for the FIFA Club World Cup competition.

However some key players will be out of the competition. Reece James is still out he is not yet fit enough to play since he has not yet trained with the team.

Kepa Arrizabalaga will be the first goalkeeper in the absence of Mendy and will have Battinelli as a back up.

Rudiger, Christinsten, Chalobah, Malang Sarr, Azplicueta, Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovasic, Barkely, Mason Mount, Pulisic, Haverts, Ziyech, Hudson Odoi, Werner, Lukaku and Kennedy complete the 22-man list.

Chelsea will join the competition at the semi final which will be played next week on Wednesday.

A win in the semi Final will be a direct qualification to the finals which will be held in three days time at Abu Dhabi stadium.

However Chelsea had three injuries yesterday after Ziyech, Azplicueta and Mason Mount were subbed off due to injuries. However they hope they will be fit before then.

Additionally Thomas Tuchel tested positive of the Covid-19 but will adhere to the protocols and join the team before Wednesday.
