Blues aim to reach final as they face unbeaten Brazilian side in New Jersey.
Chelsea are preparing to face Fluminense in the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup today at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Under manager Enzo Maresca, the Blues are eager to reach their first final in the tournament after defeating Palmeiras 2–1 in the quarter-finals.
Fluminense arrive unbeaten in the competition, having ousted Al Hilal and Inter Milan, showcasing tactical resilience. Chelsea, however, are dealing with player absences—Liam Delap and Levi Colwill are suspended, and captain Reece James remains doubtful.
In attack, Chelsea may turn to Nicolas Jackson or new signing João Pedro to lead the line. Fluminense’s strength lies in experienced defenders like Thiago Silva, who play key roles at the back despite suspensions sidelining Matheus Martinelli and Juan Pablo Freytes.
The match kicks off at 8 pm UK time, broadcast live on talkSPORT and DAZN. Fans expect a tight, tactical showdown with both clubs vying to prove their continental dominance.
