Chelsea's performance and technical adviser Petr Cech has wished Blues duo Edouard Mendy and Jorginho well for their World Cup qualifier games for Senegal and Italy respectively.
Numerous Chelsea players are currently with their international teams ahead of the last break of the season with England, Germany and Brazil all facing friendlies to help in their World Cup preparations. Meanwhile, the likes of Mendy, Jorginho and even Christian Pulisic to a certain extent are still battling with their home nations to make the final cut for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The USMNT are in a strong position to make it to the World Cup, sitting firmly in second place in their group with three winnable fixtures on the horizon over the next week and a bit. Mendy's Senegal - the newly crowned African Cup of Nations champions - face the team that they beat to the crown earlier this year, with Mohamed Salah's Egypt looking to enact revenge in their World Cup knockout tie.
