Chelsea close their pre-season schedule on Sunday by hosting AC Milan at Stamford Bridge, just two days after dispatching Bayer Leverkusen 2-0.
Enzo Maresca’s side will arrive in fine form, having won 15 of their last 17 matches and collected both the UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup trophies over the summer.
The fixture offers further minutes for big-money arrivals Joao Pedro, Estevão, and Jorrel Hato ahead of their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace next weekend, though injuries to Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana’s recent return will keep Chelsea’s defensive rotation in focus.
Milan approach this match as the second leg of a weekend double-header, having faced Leeds United in Dublin less than 24 hours earlier. Massimiliano Allegri’s return to the Rossoneri dugout comes after a dismal 2024–25 campaign, with new signings like Luka Modric and Ardon Jashari charged with steadying the rebuild.
With Christian Pulisic still sidelined and multiple forwards departing, Rafael Leão and Santiago Giménez are likely to carry the attacking load. For Milan, it’s a final tune-up before their Coppa Italia opener against Bari, but the short turnaround could see Allegri rotate heavily at the Bridge.
