Chelsea come up against their third Brazilian opponents in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup when they face Fluminense in the semi-final tonight, Tuesday, July 8, live on DAZN.
The Premier League side survived a roller-coaster group stage and have grown into the tournament in the knockouts, dominating Benfica before getting past Palmeiras to book their place in this round.
The Blues are using their long run through to competition to integrate new players into their squad, with Liam Delap the biggest beneficiary of the club's summer success. Delap has flourished with his new side after joining from Ipswich Town prior to the Club World Cup, but Enzo Maresca's side will need to perform without the £30 milion man as he is suspended for this match.
