Chelsea confirm 28-man squad for pre-season tour of USA as Trevoh Chalobah left behind

Chelsea have confirmed their 28-man squad for the pre-season tour of the United States this summer.

Newly appointed head coach Enzo Maresca will oversee his first game in charge of the Blues against Wrexham at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Wednesday before games against Celtic and Club America.

They finish the tour against Manchester City in Columbus and a meeting with Real Madrid in Charlotte on Tuesday, August 6.

Summer signings Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga and Marc Guiu have all been included, with those who played in the latter stages of the Copa America and Euro 2024 to link up with the squad at a later date.

Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Reece James and Christopher Nkunku will all travel after injury-hit seasons last time, though there is no place for defender Trevoh Chalobah.

Standard Sport understands the club are willing to listen to offers for the £25m-rated defender, who still has four years to run on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
