Blues boss Enzo Maresca had intimated earlier in the day that Chilwell would be included. And in the end, the England fullback was named as Chelsea submitted their final squad:
Chelsea 22-man squad (*Home grown): Tosin Adarabioyo*, Benoit Badiashile, Lucas Bergstrom, Marcus Bettinelli*, Moises Caicedo, Ben Chilwell*, Marc Cucurella, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall*, Axel Disasi, Joao Felix, Enzo Fernandez, Wesley Fofana, Nicolas Jackson, Reece James, Filip Jorgensen, Pedro Neto, Robert Sanchez*, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer*, Jadon Sancho*.
Notable names on U21s list: Josh Acheampong, Cesare Casadei, Carney Chukwuemeka, Renato Veiga, Deivid Washington, Tyrique George, Marc Guiu, Malo Gusto, Omari Kellyman, Romeo Lavia, Levi Colwill, Harvey Vale.
Earlier on Friday, Maresca had stated: “We are going to sit with him and find a solution because he is the only one. He is probably going to be back with us in a training session, we will see, because right now he is not training with us.
Asked if Chilwell could rejoin the group, Maresca explained: "The reason why he is training apart is because the idea was for him to leave but because he didn't find a solution, he is probably going to start to train with us. In the moment, if we decide that, he is going to be one of the players."
