Who could feature for Charlotte FC and Chelsea?

One of the most recognisable names in the Charlotte squad is Christian Fuchs, with the defender having been part of Leicester's remarkable Premier League title success in the 2015-16 season.

Chelsea have named a strong squad for the US trip, although N'Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek didn't travel due to their vaccination status. Raheem Sterling, who joined from Manchester City, could be involved.

Armando Broja and Billy Gilmour had travelled but the former has now left ahead of joining West Ham and the latter has linked up with Chelseas U23s.
