Chelsea continue their pre-season tour with a trip to Indonesia, where they are set to take on AC Milan on Saturday at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium.
The Blues have not enjoyed the most convincing run of results under new head coach Xabi Alonso so far. Their preparations began on a positive note with a win over Western Sydney Wanderers, but momentum has since dipped. Chelsea have gone on to lose their last two matches, first suffering a narrow defeat to Tottenham Hotspur , then a 1-0 loss to Juventus in Hong Kong.
Alonso is currently dealing with several selection concerns ahead of the clash in Jakarta, largely due to a stretched squad in the aftermath of the World Cup.
