Chelsea Players on International Duty: Full List and Fixtures for October 2024 Break
With the international break underway, several Chelsea players have been called up to represent their respective national teams. While some of the first-team squad will continue training at Cobham under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, others will be away on international duty. Maresca will be hoping that all the players return injury-free as they prepare for the busy upcoming fixtures in the Premier League, UEFA Conference League, and domestic competitions.
Chelsea’s season so far has seen them compete in seven Premier League matches, three UEFA Conference League games, and an EFL Cup fixture. The international break provides a brief pause in club action, but it also serves as a crucial period for the players to showcase their talent on the global stage.
Key players like Cole Palmer, who has been a standout performer for Chelsea, and the returning French duo, Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana, have earned call-ups to their national teams. Their performances during this period will be closely monitored, as their form and fitness are vital to Chelsea’s ambitions for the remainder of the season.
