Ahead of the game, Maresca said he intends to rotate his squad throughout the tournament, with three to five changes expected each game. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Chelsea boss said: “Because it’s a tournament and we have a game every three days, we need to rotate players.
“I’m not saying that we are going to rotate 10, 11 players each game, but we need to rotate three, four, five each game for sure. We cannot play every three games with the same players.

“The ones that we try to rotate a little bit in the first game are the ones that we try to rotate since day one – Romeo (Lavia) and Reece (James). Also, we gave some minutes to Moi (Caicedo) after he played all season and with Dario Essugo. We are going to try to continue on that.”
