Chelsea have advanced to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, where they'll face Palmeiras. However, the team might be without one of their key players.

Details: According to Enzo Maresca, who spoke at the pre-match press conference, Romeo Lavia is dealing with muscle issues. As a result, his participation against the Brazilian side is in doubt.

Despite this, the Chelsea manager refrained from making predictions and emphasized that, if necessary, he will find a way to adapt without Lavia in the lineup.

It also remains unclear whether Pedro Neto will feature in this encounter. He is coping with the heavy loss of Diogo Jota and will decide for himself if he is ready to take the pitch.

Reminder: In the early hours of Saturday, July 5, Chelsea will play their Club World Cup quarterfinal match against Palmeiras. Kickoff is set for 3:00 AM Central European Time, with the game taking place in Philadelphia.
