Chelsea will be without new signings Tiemoue Bakayoko and Antonio Rudiger, but Willy Caballero is likely to feature throughout.

The tour hands the likes of Pasalic, Baker, Boga and Musonda the chance to impress Conte and be in with a chance of making the first-team squad this season.

Eden Hazard will also miss the tournament as he continues his road to recovery. The Belgian has posted pictures on social media that show he working his way back to full fitness.

Chelsea are due to face Arsenal in their first official pre-season fixture on Saturday afternoon. The Premier League champions are also due to face Bayern Munich and Inter Milan as they prepare for the new campaign.
