Chelsea voló a Los Ángeles para comenzar su gira de preparación de verano. Y los Blues tendrán que arreglárselas sin el centrocampista N’Golo Kanté (31 años, 26 partidos y 2 goles en la Premier League para la temporada 2021-2022).
Sin un calendario de vacunación completo que se ha vuelto obligatorio para ingresar a Estados Unidos, el internacional francés y su compañero Ruben Loftus-Cheek (26 años, 24 partidos en la Premier League para la temporada 2021-2022) no han recibido autorización para viajar en suelo americano.
Los dos futbolistas se perderán por tanto los tres partidos amistosos previstos por los londinenses ante América (17 de julio), Charlotte FC (21 de julio) y Arsenal (23 de julio).
