Several Chelsea players, including Cole Palmer and a returning France duo, have been called up for international duty this week.

The Blues have played seven Premier League games, three UEFA Conference League matches and an EFL Cup fixture so far in the 2024/25 season.

While some of the first-team squad continue training under Enzo Maresca, many will now go away with their national teams.

The Blues boss will be hoping that all of his key men return to Cobham next week without picking up an injury.

Here is every senior Chelsea player who will represent their country over the international break and the fixtures they will be involved in.
