Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will take charge of his third game on Wednesday as the Blues face Club America.

The Blues drew 2-2 with Wrexham in their opening pre-season match before losing 4-1 to Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic on Saturday evening.

The Italian’s side defended extremely poorly and were not very impressive going forward, either.

Chelsea would love to build some confidence with a win in their next game as the start of the 2024/25 season approaches.

Club America are the reigning Liga MX champions, though, so it will be another tough test.
