Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca will rest a number of players for the team’s final Club World Cup group fixture against Esperance de Tunis on Tuesday, with Reece James among those likely to sit out.
The Blues need only avoid defeat against the Tunisian side in Philadelphia to be assured of a place in the last 16 and the Italian is set to take advantage of his side’s position in the group after two matches to give some rest to his squad.
