Chelsea players have all given first choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy a hero's reception as the Senegalese returns on the morning of Club World Cup semi-final against Al Hilal.
The Blues, who have never won this competition before, face an Al Hilal side who will be confident of causing an upset after their quarter-final thumping of hosts Al Jazira.
Moussa Marega, Matheus Pereira and Odion Ighalo will all be looking to cause havoc to the European Champions who need to be on their A game if they are to win their first ever Club World Cup title.
