Your guide to the location of Chelsea’s first-team members during the international break.
Our disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester City signalled the start of the international fixtures, as European countries prepare for their final two group-stage games in the World Cup qualifiers.
Accordingly, we’ve opted to see where will the Chelsea first-team members be travelling to as they fulfil their international duties.
Belgium will face Bosnia away and Cyprus at home before concluding the international break. Chelsea’s Belgian contingent of Thibaut Courtois, Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi are all primed to feature for the Red Devils.
Willian and Andreas Christensen are the only Chelsea first-team players representing Brazil and Denmark respectively. Willian will face Bolivia and Chile, while our great Dane is preparing to play against Montenegro away and Romania at home.
Club captain, Gary Cahill, will be facing Slovenia and Lithuania while playing for England. N’Golo Kante will be dominating the pitch in Bulgaria before facing Belarus in France.
Antonio Rudiger is primed and ready to battle against Northern Ireland away and at home against Azerbaijan. Victor Moses and Ola Aina need to ensure that Nigeria attains a single point at home against Zambia to secure their world cup qualification.
Our Spanish sentinels have been reduced from three to two following Alvaro Morata’s hamstring injury. Pedro and Cesar Azpilicueta will face Albania at home before departing for Israel. We’re still eager for Cesc Fabregas and Marcos Alonso to join the pair.
Davide Zappacosta is beginning to ascertain his status as a recognised member of the Italian squad; he will face Macedonia and Albania on international duty.
Ethan Ampadu is poised to make his first appearance for Wales, Chris Coleman’s side travel to play Georgia before facing the Republic of Ireland at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Best of luck to all the Chels during the international period!
