In Europe, the group stage of World Cup qualifying comes to an end, and only one of that continent’s 16 places at the tournament has been claimed heading into this month’s final two fixtures.

The same is true in the CONCACAF region, where all three qualification spots are up for grabs in November, alongside the automatically qualified three hosts Canada, Mexico and the USA.

There is plenty of action for the younger members of the Blues squad too, with European Championship qualifying underway at Under-21s and Under-19s level, in addition to the ongoing FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar.

You can see a full breakdown of the Chelsea players called up by their countries and the games they will be hoping to feature in below. All kick-offs and dates are in UK time.
