15-Second Brief
Chelsea are planning to play a closed-door friendly against a Championship club to give vital game time to players remaining with the squad.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea plan to hold a friendly against an undisclosed Championship club this weekend.
The match is expected to take place behind closed doors, with no announcements made on the club's official social media channels. Manager Xabi Alonso is eager to utilise this fixture to keep his squad sharp, particularly the players who weren’t called up for international duty during the break.
Notably, Moises Caicedo, Joao Pedro, and Marco Palhinha are among those who will benefit from some much-needed game time before the season resumes and ahead of their clash with Bournemouth on 10 October.
