The inclusion of summer signings highlights Maresca's intent to integrate new talent into the squad for this global competition. Reports from BenriNews indicate that some high-profile players have been left out of the squad, though the current selection demonstrates the depth available to the Italian manager.

Chelsea's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup comes as they look to add another international trophy to their cabinet, having previously won the competition in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel's management.

The tournament represents an important opportunity for Maresca to secure his first major silverware since taking charge at Stamford Bridge, while also providing valuable experience for the squad's newer members on the global stage.
