Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is expected to make his Chelsea debut in Saturday's pre-season clash with Celtic.

The summer arrival from Leicester City was denied the chance to make his first outing for his new club against Wrexham on Wednesday evening due to a minor injury problem.

However, Dewsbury-Hall is likely to recover from the issue in time for Chelsea's second friendly of the summer, which will take place against Scottish champions Celtic.

Marc Cucurella, Cole Palmer, Conor Gallagher, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez are notable absentees from the Chelsea squad due to international commitments over the summer.

However, new Blues head coach Enzo Maresca has still been able to bring a squad full of experience, with the likes of Reece James, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling expected to start against Celtic.

Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Guiu both made their debuts against Wrexham, meanwhile, and the pair should be involved once again in this contest.

Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia also received minutes, with the pair working their way back from long-term injuries, and it is likely that they will be introduced for the second half of this clash.

Another of the club's new signings Renato Veiga will also be hoping to debut on Saturday night.

Chelsea possible starting lineup: Sanchez; Adarabioyo, Badiashile, Colwill; Gusto, James, Ugochukwu, Chilwell; Madueke, Nkunku, Sterling
