The Chelsea, after beating Club America, will play a new summer 2022 friendly game, this time against the Charlotte FC this Wednesday, July 20 at the Bank of America Stadium, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Here you can find out the confirmedlineups of both teams for this interesting friendly game.
Once again Chelsea will face another Concacaf team. After having a very tough game against Club America, the “Blues” prepare to receive the team from North California, who are currently eighth in their confederation and for the moment not qualifying for the round of 16, but who are still a team hard.
Chelsea want to prepare for a season that will surely have them fighting for everything they play. In 2021/2022 they really had an excellent team to win many tournaments, but the unfair sanctions that weighed on the club prevented them from playing at their full capacity. This year, and without sanctions against them, they will surely be protagonists in all competitions.
