Chelsea Faces Juventus in Pre-Season Friendly in Hong Kong

Chelsea is set to play against Juventus in Hong Kong as part of their pre-season tour of Asia. The match is scheduled for this morning, providing another opportunity for coach Xabi Alonso to evaluate his squad.

This encounter follows Chelsea's previous games in the tour, which included a high-scoring 6-4 victory over the Western Sydney Wanderers and a 2-1 loss to Tottenham. Juventus, under coach Luciano Spalletti, remains unbeaten in their pre-season matches.

Mykhailo Mudryk, who has been sidelined for 20 months due to a doping case, is listed among the substitutes and may make his first appearance since November 2024. The starting line-ups for both teams have been confirmed, with Chelsea fielding a mix of established and younger players.
