Chelsea players at the 2022 World Cup: All 11 Blues heading to Qatar

Published on November 11, 2022 at 08:20 PM

WITH the World Cup just around the corner, managers have started to announce their squads travelling to Qatar.

Gareth Southgate confirmed a squad which included a trio of Chelsea stars.

Raheem Sterling is Chelsea’s top scorer so far this season

It was likely to have been more if Reece James and Ben Chilwell had been fit. But the pair’s injuries have ruled them out of Southgate’s plans.

N’golo Kante would almost definitely have played for France too, but he will remain in London as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

SunSport have taken a look at all the Chelsea players who will feature in Qatar.

England

Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling became stalwarts of England’s starting eleven during the Euro’s, and have been called up again this year.

They will be joined by the less experienced Connor Gallagher who has just four international appearances under his belt.

Brazil

Veteran defender Thiago Silva is expected to not only play, but may captain his nation in Qatar, with over 100 caps to his name.

Croatia

Blues midfielder Matteo Kovacic is predicted to slip in alongside Luka Modric in his country’s bid to go one step further than 2018’s final.

Morocco

Hakim Ziyech has been called up for his country after retiring from international duty last year, following a row with former manager Vahid Halilhodzic.

The winger has fallen out of favour under Graham Potter, and will look to use the tournament as a springboard to rejuvenate his career.

Germany

Chelsea star Kai Havertz has become one of the first names on Germany’s team sheet, competing in the last seven consecutive tournaments for his country.

Kai Havertz scored two goals for Germany against England in a 3-3 draw during the Nations league

Switzerland

Having only made one appearance since moving to West London on transfer deadline day, Denis Zakaria will be hoping to make his mark in Qatar, with many Chelsea fans watching on.

USA

Christian Pulisic has become his country’s main man under Gregg Berhalter. And England fans can expect to come across him when the sides meet in Group B.

Wales

England will also face Ethan Empadu, who is currently on loan in Italy, and has been selected for Rob Page’s side.

Belgium

Romelu Lukaku struggled for form in a Chelsea shirt last season. However, the 29-year-old, currently on loan at Inter, has been called up by Roberto Martinez after scoring four goals during the 2018 World Cup.
