Chelsea vs. Celtic, Preseason friendly: Confirmed lineups; how to ...
It’s a glorious summer’s day in northern Indiana, dripping with pure Americana in the classic setting of an iconic college football stadium. So let’s play some football, shall we? You know, the one with your feet.
Chelsea and Celtic have never met in a competitive setting, but this is our third friendly in the last couple decades, and the second on US soil. Of course, the focus will be much more on fitness and tactics than the actual result.
Still no Axel Disasi, Nicolas Jackson, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, or Moisés Caicedo. Mykhailo Mudryk does saddle up.
Here we go!
