A number of Chelsea players will be taking a close look at the draw for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The draw for the upcoming tournament takes place on Friday evening, with nations from all corners of the globe set to find out their fates.
Whilst qualifying has not quite concluded as of yet, enough nations have booked their tickets and will find out who they are set to tackle in the group stages. A number of Chelsea players will also be taking a deep interest in proceedings having helped their countries progress to the competition itself. As a matter of fact, a vast amount of Thomas Tuchel's current squad will hope to do enough between now and the winter to book their own places to Qatar. Some already have their places all but confirmed with their performances for both the Blues and their respective national teams over the past year, whilst others have a little bit more work to do to be able to say they will be on the plane.
On the England front, Chelsea could be set to have a moderate contingent with a number of first-team players, loanees and former stars set to be involved in Gareth Southgate's final side. Ben Chilwell, Conor Gallagher, Reece James and Mason Mount are expected to make a big impact in the squad with former players Marcu Guehi and Tammy Abraham outside shots for potential inclusions. Elsewhere, experienced campaigners, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso and N'Golo Kante will be proudly representing Spain and France respectively.
