João Pedro will make his first appearance for Chelsea today as he starts against Fluminense in the FIFA Club World Cup.
The Brazilian forward, who recently joined from Brighton, was named in the starting lineup by Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca.
This marks his official debut for the Blues, and it comes in a big game as Chelsea look to secure their second Club World Cup title.
