Cole Palmer, Marc Cucurella, and Conor Gallagher are still on their post-Euro 2024 vacation, Copa America duo Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo have finally joined the club in the USA. Due to injury, French defender Axel Disasi and striker Nicolas Jackson are also out of the running. Chelsea Boss Maresca is expected to continue to shuffle the pack a lot, with Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu seeking for the lead role.

The starting lineup might be refreshed by Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Sterling, and Madueke, while Filip Jorgensen looks to make his debut for the Blues in goal after.

Real Madrid ranks were also decimated by international call ups this summer. Jude Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Ferland Mendy, Aurelien Tchouameni, Kylian Mbappe and Eduardo Camavinga were not involved in El Clasico after Euro 2024.

Federico Valverde is not yet back from his Copa America break either, but Brazilian wing wizards Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo were both on the bench against Barcelona, the former was introduced as a second-half substitute.

Fans of Blancos may now get to see an all Brazilian starting lineup for their matchup with their former team, which includes Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Endrick. Thibaut Courtois and Antonio Rudiger are expected to start. In the medical bay alone is David Alaba (ACL).
