Forward Nicolas Jackson will also return from his red card suspension, leaving Enzo Maresca with a decision on who will lead the line. Chelsea will also face Estavao, who is headed to join the Blues once this tournament wraps up, but in what could be his final game for Palmeiras, there's still a job to do.

Chelsea midfielder Romeo Lavia has emerged as a doubt for their Club World Cup quarter-final tie against Palmeiras. However, the Blues could hand a debut to Joao Pedro. Pedro completed his £60m transfer from Brighton earlier in the week, and has been added to the Blues’ squad having been signed before the new registration deadline.
