Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel could hand a debut to Raheem Sterling in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Club America, with the attacker's arrival from Manchester City now confirmed.
Sterling has been training with his new teammates this week and is likely to be involved in some capacity, although he could be used off the bench rather than being placed straight into the first XI.
The Blues have a strong squad over in America, with the likes of Kai Havertz, Edouard Mendy, Reece James, Thiago Silva, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic potentially all starting against the Mexican giants.
Conor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour are back at the club following loan spells and will hope to be given opportunities to impress during the team's pre-season.
Ben Chilwell and Callum Hudson-Odoi are also in the squad, having recovered from their injury problems, and the pair will be keen to kick on after frustrating seasons last time out.
There is no N'Golo Kante or Ruben Loftus-Cheek for the Blues, though, with the midfield duo missing the tour due to their COVID-19 vaccination status.
Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso are both in the squad, but the duo continue to be linked with Barcelona, and it remains to be seen whether they will be involved in this contest.
Armando Broja is expected to travel to America amid the speculation surrounding his future, but this match might come too soon for the Albania international, who impressed on loan at Southampton last term.
Chelsea possible starting lineup: Mendy; James, Sarr, T Silva, Chilwell; Jorginho, Kovacic, Gallagher; Pulisic, Havertz, Werner
