One of Chelsea’s summer signings is in line to make his unofficial debut for the club against Club America.

Renato Veiga, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo have already made their bows since joining Chelsea.

However, Filip Jorgensen, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Omari Kellyman are yet to put on the blue shirt for the first time.

Chelsea have just signed Jorgensen, announcing his arrival from Villarreal on Tuesday.

Following his move to Chelsea, Jorgensen praised Robert Sanchez, who he will be competing against for a spot in Enzo Maresca‘s team.

Filip Jorgensen set for minutes against Club America

Jorgensen has barely been at Chelsea, but it does not look like that will stop him from making his unofficial debut against Club America on Thursday.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Jorgensen is in line to play after training with the team.

On his Substack, Phillips wrote: “Filip Jorgensen also trained and we are hearing he is in line for some minutes today/tomorrow (depending where you are in the world).”

Jorgensen is a huge Petr Cech fan. The 22-year-old will now be hoping to emulate the Chelsea legend following his move to the Blues.

No.1 battle begins

Jorgensen and Sanchez will both be hoping to get the nod when Chelsea take on Manchester City in their first game of the new Premier League season.

Before then, they have the chance to prove themselves in pre-season, with Jorgensen already set to get an opportunity it seems.

Sanchez has conceded a lot of goals so far, though Maresca pointed his finger at the whole Chelsea defence last time out.

Even so, the Spaniard has to put on a show the next time he plays. Ultimately, though, with Jorgensen in line to feature against Club America, the battle to be Chelsea’s No.1 already looks to be on.

It will now be interesting to see who comes out on top. Given that Chelsea have just signed Jorgensen when they already had Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic, however, you would expect the £20.7m Denmark U21 international to get some real opportunities.
