Chelsea enjoyed a straightforward win over LAFC in their opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but things should get tougher for the Blues on Friday afternoon.

The second matchday in Group D of the revamped FIFA Club World Cup commences sees Chelsea take on Flamengo in a crucial match for both side's qualification to the knockout round. Depending on the result in the other match in Group D, a win could see either of the sides secure qualification to the round-of-16.

Chelsea began their Club World Cup with a win, but reportedly risk FIFA's wrath if they rotate their team in upcoming matches, potentially breaching the rules.
