Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca remains confident in his team's ability to overcome personnel difficulties ahead of the semi-final of the Club World Cup in the USA.
Forward Liam Delap and defender Levi Colwill will miss the match due to suspensions received after yellow cards in the quarter-final match against Palmeiras (2:1). Midfielder Romeo Lavia has not yet recovered from a muscle injury, and captain Reece James remains under medical supervision.
— There is a difference in preparation for this tournament — how many matches have the Brazilians played this season? European clubs arrive at a completely different pace, but our desire to win is the same, — said Maresca.
