N'Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have been confirmed to be in Chelsea's squad to face Boreham Wood this evening, having not travelled on the club's USA tour. The duo were left out of Thomas Tuchel's squad due to their vaccination status, which meant they could not enter the US.
football.london revealed yesterday that the duo were set to play 45 minutes in this evening's friendly, which is set to kick off at 7pm. Dujon Sterling, who also missed out on making Tuchel's squad, having trained with the first team since his return from loan with Blackpool. The young full-back is expected to play for an hour.
The trio are joined by new signing Eddie Beach to face the Wood. The goalkeeper joined Chelsea from Southampton this summer. The former Saints stopper had played outfield until under-15s, allowing the 18-year-old to be comfortable playing out from the back.
