Raheem Sterling, the £45 million summer arrival, could be in line to play his first game in a Chelsea shirt this weekend as Thomas Tuchel’s side get their pre-season underway against Club America in Las Vegas.
The Blues’s clash with the Mexican side is the first of three friendlies they’ll play in the States over the next few weeks as they ramp up their preparations for the start of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
Sterling’s arrival is an indication of the Stamford Bridge outfit’s high aspirations for the upcoming season and, if reports are to be believed, it will be just the start as the club looks to give Tuchel the tools he needs to challenge the likes of Liverpool and Man City.
The England star has been training with his new teammates at their camp in LA this week so we can expect to see him make his first appearance for the Blues at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday evening (or the early hours of Sunday morning for us here in the UK).
It should be a tough test for Chelsea, not least because Club America are already three games into the Liga MX season, but the result doesn’t matter – what’s important is that Tuchel’s side show signs that they’re on their way back to the level that helped them have success in the early part of his tenure.
